The president of Brooklyn has declared Beyoncé an official Brooklynite.
Borough President Marty Markowitz said Beyoncé is a Brooklynite by marriage and by moxie. Beyoncé's husband, Jay-Z, is from Brooklyn.
The superstar visited the New York City borough on Friday for the opening of the Beyoncé Cosmetology Centre at a residential substance abuse treatment centre.
Beyoncé said she thought it also should have more programmes geared toward women. She said her mother's Houston salon helped so many people feel good about themselves and better their lives.
