In the newly released ESSENCE Magazine's May 2014 BEAUTY issue, cover girl and soul singer Solange gets candid about her journey as a mother and how she really feels about the term "style icon." Here are the highlights:
On "style icon":"A lot of times I don't feel very deserving of that title, because it is such a rotation of inspiration that I get from…so many people. I interpret my style the best way I can, and I feel so appreciative that it's celebrated on that level."
On motherhood:"Motherhood is such an evolving journey. You really have to shape and mold your morals and values around that personality that has come into itself."
On her son's fearlessness: "Seeing that conviction and honesty with everything he does absolutely has made me a better person."
