Eva Longoria was recently featured in July's InStyle Magazine. Her recent marriage ended in a divorce, due to her ex-husband cheating. Instead of regretting or seeking revenge, she moves on maturely by being productive then ever. She is currently going back to school for her masters degree, is a producer, actor, opened up a couple restaurants, and recently unleashed her new cook book. She is so much more then the desperate house wife character that she portrays on television.
I am obsessed with Beyonce's new hit "Run The World (girls)". I love how her song embraces women hood! Beyonce is a singer, actor, fashion designer, dancer, and business woman. I remember watching a youtube video of Beyonce's past concert performance, where she missed a step, tripped, and went tumbling down the stage. Instead of stopping, she got right back up and started dancing with full energy. She didn't care what anyone thought, she just kept on going. This shows that she is a true performer.
Olivia is my manager at the swimsuit boutique that I work at, I look up to her so much and admire how multi-tasks all of her jobs. She is constantly on the go, besides her full time career, she is also store manager at Pualani, and a single mom. She is so hilarious, outgoing, and always has a positive aura. She inspires me to work hard, no matter how many jobs your juggling.
Jill is my friend, whom I met from cosmetics. I love how she always believes in me no matter what. She always encourages me to get back out there, and hooks me up with gigs to gain experience, that lead to making my dreams come true. She is a cosmetologist, manager at Barefoot Dreams(the organic boutique that I will soon be working at too), and a mommy! Her bubbly personality always brightens up my day.
Earlier, this evening my friend Thai and I went to the Youth Speaks Hawaii writing workshop hosted by Darron Cambra. We had so much fun! We started off the class by introducing ourselves and sharing news that was either good or bad. After we walked around the art center and looked at the featured art on display. Which was pictures and quotes of people who lost one of their senses, but use their creativity as their unlimited drive. We also brainstormed an idea word bank as a group. Last we did a free write for seven minutes, where we had to choose one of the quote options, to use as our opening line. To close the workshop, we all went around the circle and shared our pieces. Here is what I came up with...(I also dedicate this poem to the independent women who are featured in this post)
I barely even knew you...but once I seen your quotes on life's vision of gratitude and humbleness, I seen a different angle, a different light, although you have lost a sense, no nonsense is produced by you, instead a substitution of all senses as a multi-sense, your imagination, runs wild with your talent to express yourself, creativity is your sense, you flow against the wind, an exotic beauty, so free, with an open mind, you rise, rise, and rise, unstoppable, unbelievable, an unlimited drive, barefoot dreams growing...
Standing up for women empowerment,
Deanna
