Harriet Tubman has inspired me.
. She represents a woman who is not afraid to stand for women's freedom. (Even though she freed men too).
Cassie Edward's is an inspiring novelist. She writes romance and those books helped me believe in love.
Taraji P. Henson is my roll modell. She strives to be her best self in everything she does and even though people think shes just an actress, she's a WOMAN who grows herslef everyday through her family, her career, her hobbies and everything else that she does! this woman is someone who anybody can look up to! Just look at all the roles that she has played as a woman being suppressed, and then she goes to show us that anybody can be who they want to be and what they want to be!
I'm inspired by my favorite authors - Toni Morrison and Margaret Atwood.
My mom I admire most
ROSA PARKS
After refusing to give up her bus seat to a white person in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks' courageous act in 1955 sparked a turning point in the civil rights movement
My mother in law, since she always takes care of everyone!
Michelle Obama, she helps others, is a great leader and a community activist and social rights advocate. She encourages people around the world to become leaders too, and respects others. She's someone I would tell my daughters to look up to!
my mom and my daughters
My friends and co-workers!
My mom - she never seemed to think that boys could do anything better than girls.

My grandmother has lived an amazing life many would not believe if they didn't see or experience alongside her. With nearly 9 decades full of life experiences both good and bad, she has knowledge most people only imagine. She is a walking library of facts learned and lived and witnessed more worldly change all in one lifetime than most will ever see or know of. She is my inspiration to live my life to its fullest, find passion in everything I do, make time because we are not always given more opportunity to seize moments, and never settle for anything that doesn't make me happy; life is too short to accept anything less.

I would have to say Michelle Obama. She is such an influential woman to other women and girls everywhere. She stands up for what she believes in no matter what. And to be a woman of color she takes that in stride and it doesn't stop her from doing anything for other women.
All of the women that live their truth bravely.
