Today I was inspired by two young women. One of them I knew personally while the other was someone I don't know too much about. Their stories are different, but at the heart they are pretty similar.
The first woman is someone I met while in college. She's pursuing her passion for makeup, and she's crazy-good at it! She's already created loads of makeup looks, from pretty and polished to scary and seething and everything in between. I am so proud of her for finding such a creative outlet to make her own. I know that it's been a tough road for her and she has finally found something that she loves and can share with others. Actually, you can check her out here.
The second woman is a young celebrity. Normally I'm not much for stalking the media or keeping tabs on anybody, and it's only by chance that I've been noticing this girl. She's been making waves across some different websites I follow and you can find the article that inspired me to write this post here. Yes, it's Zendaya! Now, I don't really know too much about this young lady, but I do know that she has been making waves for her eloquence and standing up for what's right. You've gotta hand it to her; she totally called out that fashion magazine for photoshopping her perfectly-fine body.
So what do these two stories have in common? These are two young women who are not afraid to be themselves. My friend is pursuing her passion even with limited resources and supplies. Zendaya is being a good role model in an industry that worships idealism. Both of them are being uniquely them.
