Let's be honest-- there are more than a fair share of celebrities, actors, and musicians who are not a great influence. You know who they are. Sure, we love to sing along to them on the radio and or watch E! for their next big scandal-- but certainly you wouldn't want a daughter, a sister, a friend to emulate their behavior. I think we give those people enough attention, but we don't give the good, strong, powerful, compassionate women enough praise.
Are there more? Absolutely! I challenge you to find a fearless woman that inspires you! If you don't recognize some of these women, I challenge you to read their story, see what they have done, and why I believe they are positive role models.

I couldn't do this post without talking about those celebrities who think the F-word is dirty. Not that F-word. I'm talking about feminism. Actress Shailene Woodley said in an interview that she doesn’t consider herself a feminist “because I love men.” Singer Katy Perry had the following response to being asked if she is a feminist: "A feminist? Uh, yeah, actually. I used to not really understand what that word meant, and now that I do, it just means that I love myself as a female and I also love men."
There's the problem! Being a feminist simply means you believe that men and women should have equal rights and opportunities. One doesn't trump the other & women aren't out to get more power than men, simply equal power.
I'll leave you with one last photo.
And I won't be mad at all if it ends up on your Instgram.
