Alicia Keys

A few years ago, Grammy-winning singer Alicia Keys shocked the world when she decided to ditch her glamorous hair and makeup routine in favor of going completely au naturale permanently. Many women praised her choice, as they saw it as a bold statement against what society deems as beautiful or acceptable.

With adopted feminist anthems like “Superwoman” and “Girl On Fire,” Alicia Keys has never shied away from letting her voice be heard as it relates to uplifting women. In an interview earlier this year she stated just how proud she is to be a woman, “Being a woman, being a girl, is the most awesome thing to be. I personally feel we are the more evolved species. We are the greatest creators on the planet, like, the planet literally would not exist if we weren’t in it. … We’re the entire universe, in five feet five inches. One beautiful, elegant, awkward body.”
