For my Icon Analysis I have chosen 3 very distinct powerful women: Oprah Winfrey,
Beyonce Knowles, and last but
definitely not least Michelle Obama.
Oprah is one of the most influential black women in the world; known not only because she is one of the richest :) but is a sincerely a great person. Among her many talents she is a television host, an actress, a book critic and a multiple Emmy Award winner. Beyonce first debuted as the lead singer for the R&B group Destiny's Child then began recording as a solo artist in 2003. Not only has she won 5 Grammy Awards, but she has starred in movies, and launched her own clothing line "House of Dereon". Michelle Obama is the wife of president elect Barack Obama. She is a mother, an attorney and now the first "First Black Lady".
I chose these women because they all play a major league role in the advancement of women's rights. They are not just talented or beautiful...they are strong and courageous. Oprah has been known for her heart and how much she gives back to the community, Beyonce allows women to express themselves and emotionally connect through her powerful voice and lyrics, and Michelle Obama is soon to be the woman behind the man in charge of our country. She will be able to have an input in the decisions that will impact all of our lives.
These iconic women are important to me because they empower me. They have shown that through hard work and dedication almost anything is possible. Oprah came from a broken home, as well as I, and when I look at her success I believe anything is possible. Beyonce liberates me, she gives me an outlet through her music, a way for me to express my feelings when I sing her songs or watch her videos. Michelle Obama is not only an attorney, and now the First Lady, but she is a mother of two beautiful children and she handles it all with grace and charisma. I can only hope that one day I am able to make an impact such as the ones these women have given to us.
