‘I’m trying to find an adjective that is appropriate,’ Williams admitted. ‘Every time she shows the world something, she just continues to show a new level of how hard she works and still balances her personal life, being a wife, mother, sister, friend, a daughter… She does it all.’
The singer continued, ‘She does everything with so much excellence, does not take no for an answer – especially when she knows it could be done. I will never forget hearing her say, ‘If I had a dream about it, that means it could happen.’ She’s literally like, ‘If I dreamed it, I want to see my dream in reality.”
She, Beyonce and their former Destiny’s Child costar Kelly Rowland initially formed their band in 1990.
The group went on to record several hit tracks, including Lose My Breath, Survivor and Independent Woman, among others.
Destiny’s Child went on to separate in 2006 after the members expressed a desire to embark on their own careers.
The group was nominated for a total of 14 Grammy Awards over the length of their fifteen-year career.
According to the official synopsis for Beyonce’s upcoming film, the project ‘accentuates the journey of RENAISSANCE WORLD TOUR, from its inception, to the opening in Stockholm, Sweden, to the finale in Kansas City, Missouri.
Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé will hit theaters on December 1.

After photos of Beyonce rocking a blonde wig from her LA premiere, she was accused of ‘lightening’ her skin.
Some social media users suggested that the hitmaker ‘was white now,’ while others complained that ‘she’s not a Black woman!’
Her mother Tina Knowles-Lawson furiously struck out at online critics in an Instagram video posted Tuesday.
‘I am sick and tired of people attacking her,’ Knowles wrote in a lengthy caption to the video in which she denied commenters’ concerns.
She also compared her daughter’s outfit to styles worn by Black entertainers going back at least as far as Etta James.
‘Came across this today and decided to post it after seeing all of the stupid ignorant self, hating racist statements about her, lightening her skin, and wearing platinum hair wanting to be white,’ Knowles began her lengthy caption.
She explained that Beyoncé’s look was solely for her Renaissance documentary, ‘where the whole theme is silver with silver hair, a silver carpet, and suggested silver attire and you bozos decide that she’s trying to be a white woman and is bleaching her skin?’

‘How sad is it that some of her own people continue the stupid narrative with hate and jealousy,’ she seethed. ‘Duh, she wore silver hair to match her silver dress as a fashion statement clown. ALIEN Superstar duh!’
She also castigated Black commenters on social media who had accused her daughter of trying to lighten her skin, calling them ‘bozos.’
‘Lying and faking and acting like you’re so ignorant that you don’t understand That black women have worn platinum hair since the Etta James days,’ she wrote. ‘I just went and looked at all the beautiful talented black celebrities who have worn platinum hair and it has been just about everyone of them at one time or another. Are they all trying to be white?’
Knowles added that she was ‘sick and tired of people attacking her.’
‘Every time she does something that she works her a** off for and is a statement of her work ethic, talent and resilience. Here you sad little haters come out the woodwork,’ she wrote.
She accused her daughter’s critics of perpetuating ‘Jealousy and racism, sexism, double standards,’ instead of ‘celebrating a sister or just ignoring if you don’t like her.’
