Beyoncé has been talking to a swanky magazine about her 'brand'

  • February 15, 2013
  • Ciaran Gaynor

Beyonce newBeyoncé has described herself as "the CEO of my own brand" in The Gentlewoman magazine.

There is a report on the interview here.

"I’m con­trolling my content, con­trolling my brand and archiving it for my daughter", announced the 'Star-Spangled Banner' hitmaker, adding that she is also "making sure she [ie her daughter] has it [ie Beyoncé's 'archive'] and she respects it [ie the 'archive']", before going on to say that "there’s not enough of us [ie women] that become moguls."

In a touching moment during the piece, Beyoncé recalls the hardships she has faced on the way to 75m album sales.

"I have memories of when there was no air con­di­tion­ing in the new building and we didn’t have an office," she recalled. "It was like camping.”

LIKE CAMPING.
