Never underestimate the power of the Beyhive (Beyoncé’s fan group). Yes, Beyoncé’s fans have done something truly magnificent.
Ebony Banks, a high school senior from Houston, is battling stage 4 of a rare form of cancer. Beyoncé is Ebony's idol. So her friends started a campaign to get Bey’s attention using the hashtag #EBOBMEETSBEYONCE. " Ebob " is Ebony's nickname.
"We just decided she should, you know, meet Beyoncé. We started this hashtag to see how far we could get," one of Ebony's friends told KHOU-TV.
The hashtag took off with members of the Beyhive across the globe, and the campaign reached Queen Bey herself. So, of course, Beyoncé surprised Ebony with a FaceTime call on Wednesday (March 22).
In the video clip below, you can even hear Ebony tell Beyoncé, "I love you." Watch for yourself:
