Beyoncé continues to show the world she is not merely an international superstar but also a humanitarian. The singer, accompanied by her mom Tina Knowles, was in Brooklyn on Friday (March 5) for the grand opening of her cosmetology school in Brooklyn. Beyoncé opened the Beyoncé Cosmetology Center inside the Phoenix House, a residential substance abuse and recovery house for men and women. The school will serve as a place for residents to learn career skills in the field of cosmetology.

The idea for the center was spawned from a 2007 visit to the Phoenix House. According to Beyoncé, ” I wanted to speak to women that were struggling with heroin. I was so touched by the women’s stories and I wanted this to be something that I was a part of forever.” The singer and her mom have pledged to donate $100,000 of their own money ever year to the school so it can continue to thrive.

Beyoncé was even dubbed an official Brooklynite by “marriage and by moxie,” according to Borough President Marty Markowitz.
