She is like no other women icon I know. She has fought for equality of all walks of life, color, race, sexuality. She has been willing to explore avenues that other artist would blush at. People feel like they are accepted because of her openess. She is not scard to explore idea’s that create conflict. She has taught me to believe in myself no matter what others say, or have said about me in the past. She keeps moving forward learning from her past and using it to her advantage. She’s left an imprint on millions of people in positive ways. It is often difficult for people with narrow perspectives to see. So I want to say Thank you Maddy.
