She

She is a leader, not bossy

She is kind-hearted, not sweet

She is in tune with her emotions, not emotional

She is honest and to the point, not heartless and cold

She lets them know they cannot interrupt us

She finds men who are not intimated by her power but supportive of it

She has learned that winning takes on different shapes and forms

She carries herself gracefully in all areas of life

She is strong even though the world convinced her that she is weak

She has to work twice as hard to make the same impact

because men always seem to get the benefit of the doubt

She shows us that it is okay to be feminine

To wear your red lipstick and hoops

She stopped pretending to be a man to get ahead

Because it is possible to be both beautiful and powerful

Everything she is saying or doing is not correct

But she is onto something

And will do her best to lead & listen

She is an inspiration

To little girls everywhere who dream of more than

what the world has told them they should do

She is us

And we are her

Doesn’t that mean anything?
