Music celebrities in the growing entertainment industry.

Ye-Ha
From an early age, humans are always on the lookout for something to aspire, a role model to navigate all our decisions, something to look forward too. Many children grow up wanting to be what they see on TV or even just out and about. Generally, you’ll hear things like, “I want to be like superman, or that really cool famous star,” from the mouth of a young child. You can’t really blame the child for thinking like that, as those people they fantasize about are a living and breathing representation of what the possibilities of the future could be.

I'm crying Cuz I love you (and you helped me love myself)
“Why are men great until they gotta be great?” Have truer words ever been spoken when you’re in the midst of a breakup? I remember watching the movie, Someone Great, when I first heard the aptly named, "Truth Hurts" song by Lizzo. The iconic scene is depicted below, yet, little did I know the larger role Lizzo would play in my life.

The Phenomenal Women Involved In The Music Industry
When I was a toddler, I started dancing around to music from anywhere such as other car radios, the house radio, parties/celebrations, and etc. When I got a little older singing became a thing for me. The main women that stood out to me and play key roles in the music industry are Alicia Keys, Rihanna, Brandy, Whitney Houston, Tayla Parx, Missy Elliot, and Debra Lee. When it comes to my views on music it has progressed from being you and trying out new things to figuring out what’s to your liking along with embracing who you are in the process. These women have displayed just that either throughout their careers and/or late in their careers.
