After teasing the video the day before, JAY-Z's latest music video dropped on Friday. And the 8-minute, Ava DuVernay-directed mini movie is already sparking so much conversation. Namely, the Founding Mothers in JAY-Z's "Family Feud" video are Twitter's new obsession. As co-collaborators on the project, JAY-Z and DuVernay managed to bring together some of Hollywood's most impressive women to represent the Founding Mothers and rewrite the Constitution. The line-up is simply awe-inspiring, but the most amazing aspect is definitely the fact that they're being led by Blue Ivy as the future president — a role which is played by This Is Us star Susan Kelechi Watson.

It's an empowering moment of feminism backed by a genius narrative, as the discussion goes on to summarize some of the ideologies which have been instilled in Blue Ivy as a young child. The segment features Watson explaining to the council that "America is a family and the whole family should be free."

In addition to Watson, the all-female amendment panel features the feminine forces of Rosario Dawson, Brie Larson, Janet Mock, Constance Wu, Niecy Nash, Mindy Kaling, and Rashida Jones, just to name a few. The dynamics of the gathering certainly sends a strong and powerful message about women as leaders and Twitter can not seem to get enough. Amidst the many prophetic themes — good, bad, and ugly — which are promoted throughout the visual, this moment of female empowerment is perhaps the most striking of them all.
