So today, I will be talking about role models. A role model is a person looked to by others as an example to be imitated. Having a role model is a really wonderful thing as it makes us all work a little harder to become better people and makes us want to become role models to others. In no particular order Here is a list of my top 6 role models!
1. Zendaya Coleman
In Her Own Words: My wearing my hair in locs on an Oscar red carpet was to showcase them in a positive light, to remind people of color that our hair is good enough.
Be sure to check Zendaya out on her new show K.C. Undercover!
2. Amandla Sternberg
In Her Own Words:End the "angry black girl" narrative. It's just another attempt to undermine certain perspectives.
Amandla is the definition of who everyone should want to be. She is only 16 years old but everyone has learnt how passionate she is about maintaining her identity and making sure others don't use somebody else's culture and struggle for a cute Instagram picture. (We're talking about you Kylie, Miley and Katy!) When I see Amandla, I see intelligence, strength and ultimate confidence. I definitely am going to take some life tips from her.
You have to watch the full video of Amandla explaining cultural appropriation!
3. The Janoskians
In Their Own Words: Haters gonna hate, tomatoes gonna tomate, potatos gonna potate and dogs gonna bark.
Okay, so these guys are a bit different from everyone I've mentioned but they are definitely worthy of their place on this list of my role models. The Janoskians (Luke, Jai and Beau Brooks, Daniel Sayhounie and James Yammouni) are so confident it's scary! From dancing with strangers on the train to getting into a bath full of snakes; these guys are willing to do anything, no matter how embarrassed and how much pain we feel for them! They are also always there to remind their fans how beautiful they are and who wouldn't want a career of hanging out with their best friends? They are on this list because one day I want to be able to be as fearless as them!
Go and subscribe to the Janoskians now and be more fearless!
4. Princess Tiana
In Her Own Words: The ONLY way to get what you want in this world is through hard work.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, she's not real; but Princess Tiana is the hardest working person I know. She never stopped working to get her restaurant even when it seemed like it was never going to happen in a million years. Even when she became The Princess of Maldonia, she didn't let the riches go to her head and she opened her restaurant. Tiana always wanted to make her parents happy and was ready to do anything to reach her goal. I think we all need a little Tiana in us, right?
If you haven't watched The Princess and The Frog, what are you waiting for?
4. Nia Sioux Frazier
In her own words: When those things happen you just need to stay strong, keep your head up, just hope for the best.
This girl is only 14 years old and is so intelligent, mature and well spoken! Even when mean Miss Abby tries to break her, Nia remains calm and remembers she is much better than someone who starts arguments and attempts to take other people's happiness. She has such a big heart and a positive attitude to everything! We could learn a lot from this blossoming young lady!
Nia has two songs out now! Go and have a listen to Slay and Star in Your Own Life!
5. Holly Frazier
In Her Own Words: No matter how much I want Nia to succeed in life if she's not a good person, then I have failed.
Obviously Holly has to be on this list as she raised such an amazing daughter! When I have a child I want to be as good of a mother as Holly is! Holly is never afraid to stand up to Abby and defend her daughter and the other kids in the dance company. She speaks her mind and is never shy to tell someone when they are wrong about something. Holly is very respectful and makes sure she puts her daughter's happiness before Abby's. Can we say Mom Goals!
You can see more of Holly on Dance Moms!
6. Tyra Banks
In Her Own Words: Never dull your shine for somebody else.
Tyra Banks is dedicated to making people feel beautiful in the skin they're in. Not only is she an amazing at reminding people they're flawsome (awesome with your flaws) she is a successful businesswoman who is always ready to give. Tyra is like the best friend we all want to be and she's never afraid to be a little weird and work her flaws too.
You can see Tyra on Cycle 22 of ANTM and on her new show FABLife!
