I think that was the perfect way to end an insightful and well-written article. But, ST, I'm with you, I cannot see why Beyonce would be on the cover of the magazine. She is not college-educated or a professional and the article was really not describing her at all. Maybe they just needed a popular and pretty face to sell that issue of the magazine.

I agree with that, because surely Beyonce, although a popular entertainer, doesn't really have the gravitas that Star Jones or Mellody Hobson have. BTW, Ms. Hobson is a Princeton grad. Ariel, a black-owned money management firm, has $10B under its domain.
