WHY GENDER STEREOTYPES ARE A NO-GO ZONE IN BEYONCÉ’S HOUSE

In an interview with Vogue last year, the megastar opened up about motherhood, revealing that her sincerest wish for her children is that they grow up empowered and free to be themselves. She’s starting with the simplest way young ones experience stereotypes: their gender.

“As the mother of two girls, it’s important to me that they see themselves as CEOS, as bosses, and that they know they can write the script for their own lives – that they can speak their minds and they have no ceiling.”

The Carters aren’t the only celeb parents who have chosen to keep gender stereotypes out of their home. Here are some others:

ZOE SALDANA AND MARCO PEREGO-SALDANA

Her husband has taken her name, so it’s no surprise that the Saldanas have opted to keep things genderneutral. The Guardians Of The Galaxy star is mom to three boys: twins Cy and Bowie, and Zen. “I get to do a lot of male things, which is, I don’t know, put a TV together, fix things that break,” Zoe has said. “We’re sort of a very gender-fluid household. I think it’s important to raise boys in that environment and girls as well.”

WILL AND JADA PINKETT SMITH

The celeb parents have always been vocal about making sure their children reach for their dreams, no matter how unorthodox they may be. The power couple are parents to Trey, Jaden and Willow. “We encourage our kids to experiment and seek who they are more than who we want them to be,” Will Smith has been quoted as saying.
