Who better than to kick things off than my fellow FIERCE QUEEN, Beyonce
Why Beyonce is a wonder woman
She proves that you don't have to dim your shine and be less ambitious because you are a woman
In this day and time, there are too many girls that don't want to be all that they can be because they like boys. The thinking goes that if you're ambitious and you like boys, then they won't like you because boys don't like girls who will be successful in their own right. They want trophies who just make them look good.
I will never forget Sheryl Sandberg told a story about a little girl that said she wanted to be an astronaut, but she also wanted to be a Mommy and boys wouldn't like her if she was an astronaut.
I think more little girls need to see that you can be successful AND be a Mother.
You don't have to settle to be somebody's trophy who knows their role and shuts their mouths.
She's not afraid to call herself a feminist
Beyonce has won me over in the past few years by speaking out about feminism and women's empowerment. With all of the vapid and airhead reality stars who have nothing to say, it's refreshing to hear a woman my age speak out about women's empowerment and girls being all that they can be.
She also shows women and girls that just because you're a feminist doesn't mean you that can't be sexy and glamorous.
I also really enjoyed how she went Madonna on us and took charge of her sexuality.
She handles herself with class and dignity
Beyonce did not get famous for doing sex tapes and putting her private life on display. She got famous through HARD WORK, CONSISTENCY, AND BELIEF IN HER TALENT.
She's representing for the 30 and over crew who doesn't know that it's time to put on clothes and sit down.
Yeah that's right. We're the exact same age...22 in our heads and we are going to continue to GIVE IT TO THE PEOPLE.
We wouldn't be able to have workouts without her
Since this is a fitness blog, this is a big reason I am featuring her. Sorry, but my warm-ups, cardio, and leg days would not make it without Beyonce...and don't LET my favorite gym member be in the house. I'm in my own Beyonce music video!
Besides that dancing around in heels must be very hard. I can't even do quarter turns in them so that has something to do with athletics fitness.
From Queen G to Queen B we salute you as our first Wonder Woman
