I chose these songs because, at some point in my life they inspired me to get out of my rut and make a change. These songs have been inspirations for women everywhere and have been empowering women since they were made. From surviving difficult times and learning to grow, to being able to love yourself and be comfortable in your skin. The artists that made these songs are just as important. They chose these lyrics to have an impact on anyone who listened to their music. These songs have been a guide for me to find myself without worrying about how others felt. They made me believe in myself and what I am capable of despite what life throws at me.

Valdosta '21

My name is Debbie, and I’m a senior at Valdosta State University. I love writing about things to help inspire and entertain women. Being a black woman in today's society comes with many challenges. I've learned to overcome what life has thrown at me and to be an inspiration to the people around me. I've learned how to be my own guide and paint my own picture. Capturing what life has to offer and becoming th woman that I've always dreamed of being, is what comes next.
