positive media, positive influence

"You know, equality is a myth, and for some reason, everyone accepts the fact that women don't make as much money as men do. I don't understand that. Why do we have to take a backseat? I truly believe that women should be financially independent from their men. And let's face it, money gives men the power to run the show. It gives men the power to define value. They define what's sexy. And men define what's feminine. It's ridiculous"
-Beyonce Knowles

Beyonce is the definition of media for many women, both young and older, she influences our society entirely. She is a natural born trend setter and after her "Mrs. Carter World Tour" she has given media a new perspective, strong independent women are sexy. To me this is ground breaking; girls now have a positive hollywood role model, straying away from dancing into the mirror singing "my milkshake brings all the boys to the yard." They now have the ability to envision their self-worth and when you uncover the blinders, the possibilities for women are out of this world. Equality is not easy, it does not come by looking pretty and shaking asses, it forms through sweat and hard work. Why are we waiting to act when the show has already began?
