When people ask me this, a bunch of names fall out of my mouth. Prophet Mohammed (obvious reasons), Obama (only a little bit), Michael Jordan (never gives up), Rob Dyrdek (does whatever he wants), Mohammed Ali (legend), Bill Gates (donates a lot of $) so on and so forth.
But then I got to thinking. Those are all men. What women do I look up to? This was harder to think of. A couple names eventually crossed my mind. Prophet's wives, yes definitely. Mother Theresa, sure. But those women have all passed. What about women who are still alive, the 21st century women. After lots of pondering the only name I could come up with was Donna from Suits, but even then she's a fictional TV character.
It seems like the
only women being talked about these days are entertainers. Women who are entering rehab, getting talked about for what they wore (or lack there of) or who they are sleeping with. What about the women
who look out for the good of the nation? People who give everything they have
to help those in need. The Eleanor Roosevelt’s of this world. Why aren't they
being talked about in the media?
