“May every woman be able to tap into their power, in whatever way, shape or form. It may be by revolutionizing change in their own communities. Being a career woman or homemaker, being a creative or having a corporate job. Whether it is by nurturing yourself, a child, pets, plants or other people we have chosen as our family. You are giving life to another, yes, even art — and that is power,” she added.
Whatever your size, color, and beauty, every woman is powerful in her ways.
Just like Iza, be grateful that you are a woman and you are powerful don’t let society tell you otherwise.
