Women PoWer

I centenly know how lucky I am, I grow up in a world where woman are part of the Power. Yes today you can see women ruling the western world. From presidents and prime ministers, like Golda Meyer and Christina Fernandez, to the music land.

IIn my house my brother would make me listing to Missy Elliot and my mom to the Destiny Childs. And MTV and Much Music will show me  hip hop, singers, rappers amazingly powerful.

Sometimes when you see famous song, from a famous artist, well not just sometimes but pretty ofter we see this: 

 Take  the music, down and all you are going to see is a sexy woman, dancing showing her body in different ways that its just makes us a just a sexual objectification.

But then we have amazing women artist, the ones that I grow up admiring, THE QUEEN: Missy Elliot! 

Missy, she appears in any feminist blog, she is a symbol of the hip hop! and she is the best at it!

Missy Elliot is an American rapper, songwriter, record producer and actress.  Elliott is a five-time Grammy winner and the only female rapper to have six albums certified platinum by the RIAA

Missy Elliot, is a very successful female rapper who was able to build a legacy based on her talent and creativity alone.  She did show to the world that she can work it, she might show  us that we as woman we are able to rock at any platform, but this next woman, she knows how to combine everything!

Maybe today she is too mainstream for some listeners, but she represents women at the best, we can be powerful, but also SEXY. 

She is not only a dancer, but lead singer, she started with destiny child, but the world discover her as BEYONCE. She is an actress, song writer, singer.

But she also represent women, I remember we went with my mom! to her concert in Argentina, all the women were thrilled to dance "Single Ladies".

She is married with the famous rapper Jay-Z, She absolutely represents everything, single women, power women, talented, and also a married woman, a sex symbol and today A MOTHER.

But you know when someone put a step outside of their comfort zone, to represent a group of people, that can defend by them self. In the video If I were a boy, sing about how women should find self respect, and not others for her. 

Amon with other artist, we have today, Lil Kim, and Nicky Minaj, MIA, Queen Latifah, Trina

.

They represent other voices of the past and today, rapers, and Hip Hop. Before there used to be an award for the best female hip hop, and rapper.. which Missy Eliot won many times. But today doesn't not exist anymore, and its just the best rapper and hip hop. I think is an important step to think, if it is because we are looking to be equal or is it that they is not enough space for female performance.

Hopefully this is just a start, and we will see more of this amazing powerful performances!
