Beyonce Knowles!

Getting To Know Julez
Judging from his family name, it would be quite a fair assumption Julez is quite the accomplished teen with a supportive crew behind him; the Knowles family bond runs deep, especially between Julez and his mom! Solange gave birth to Julez when she was only seventeen years-old. Giving birth to Julez brought Solange a lot of comfort, especially in the circumstances she was facing at the time. While Solange was pregnant, she lost a friend to gun violence, and she had to reckon with the intricate concepts of life and death, as she explained in an intimate letter to her teenage self for Teen Vogue, via People.
Solange's mama bear instincts were quickly instilled from the moment she brought Julez into the world with her former partner, Daniel Smith. In the aforementioned letter, she explained, "You will be terrified, and it's ok that you don't know what the future holds. Some people will count you out because of the decision you've made to bring another life into the world so young, but you made the decision out of love, and will live with the decision in love."
Love continues to be the basis for which Solange leads her life with her son Julez. Solange is more on the private side when it comes to sharing intimate details of her family life on social media than her son who actively posts on Instagram, but she broke her silence when he received criticism for learning how to speak French.
A young Julez studied French in school, and gave a speech when he graduated from the fifth grade, but, according to Essence, his ability to speak multiple languages didn't sit well for some fans. A fan commented their displeasure over the idea of Julez studying French instead of African American history, but Mama bear wasn't too pleased with the fan's unsolicited feedback. Solange defended her decision to have Julez study French and reiterated how "Proud [she] was of her soon-to-be sixth-grader."
