I came across this tag on The Value of a Moment’s blog. If you know me then you know I’m very passionate about women, our rights and empowerment. I’m a feminist. So this is a cool and fun tag for me to do, and I love tags!
What does women empowerment mean to you?
Woman empowerment means women doing whatever they want. It means equality for all, and women loving and supporting each other. Different women feel empowered in different ways, it’s all about living your life whichever way you want to.
It means women coming together and lifting and encouraging other women. Also, men encouraging and supporting women, and vice versa. Empowerment is about choice.
What woman/women do you most admire? Why?
I admire so many women for different reasons. If we’re talking about famous women and women in the public eye, I would have to say that Beyonce is definitely a woman I look up to. She has always been outspoken about feminism and specifically black women. Beyonce has made history on numerous occasions.
I’d also have to say Serena Williams. Serena has been in the news recently due to scandals and blatant sexism and racism against her. I’m so inspired by her strength and mentality. I’m so fascinated every time I watch her play, she truly is the greatest athlete of all time. I adore her.
Share with us a story, drawing, or video that you think says “empowered women.”
There are so many! But there is a video of Reese Witherspoon at the 2015 Glamour ‘Women of the Year’ awards. Reese received the award for her work in creating stronger roles for women in film. This speech inspired me so much because I believe I have been negatively influenced by the media, and the media portrayal of women, so to see someone actively trying to change this makes me feel so happy.
Share with us the best lesson you’ve learned in leadership.
Leadership is all about mutual respect. You have to earn your respect so it’s all about being fair, but assertive. Always lead by example. Teamwork, and looking out for each other will bring your team closer together.
You have got to be a good listener in order to be a good leader. Without listening skills, you won’t be able to lift and help your team. If you don’t listen you can’t gain respect, and without respect, you can’t lead people. Listen and guide, not control. Equality for every member of your team.
What cause do you most want to bring awareness to? Why?/What does it mean to you?
So many causes to think of! I’ve always wanted to do something to help girls in other countries that can’t go to school and learn. I want to be able to give every single girl an opportunity to be heard.
I’d also love to empower women with their own body image issues due to the media. I love seeing changes in media now, and I’d just love to be a part of that somehow. I want for my little sister to grow up in a world without so many pressures put on young girls to act and look a certain way. I want Eliza to grow up and be someone she wants to be whatever that may be.

my favourite horror villain from films would have to be Pazuzu – the Demon who possesses Regan in The Exorcist. I love that film.
which has loads of languages to learn. I’m currently learning French, I’m doing pretty well. Learning a new language is a great skill to have, it makes travelling easier and it’s also fun! Instead of learning a new language you could learn a new skill like sewing, drawing, an instrument, the list is endless. All of these require maximum concentration which leaves no room in your brain for feeling low.
need is a big, over-sized white shirt, make sure it’s big enough to cover your bum! You can wear some black shorts under the shirt, just in case. You’ll also need some white socks, pulled up, and some black sunglasses. If you wanted to wear this costume out and about then you can wear some discreet shoes under the socks (ones that won’t show too much). It’s such a famous scene, so I expect the majority of people will know who you’re supposed to me. A brown wig is really optional, I don’t think it’s a necessary part of the costume, you’ll be easily recognised.
Everyone will recognise a stereotypical bank robber costume. You’ll need a black and white striped t-shirt, some black skinny fit trousers (leggings, skinny jeans, even tights and black shorts), black shoes (trainers or pumps), a black eye mask and some black gloves. A white pillowcase can be used as a money bag, all you need to do is draw a dollar sign on the front then tie at the top. All of these items are easily accessible at your normal clothing shops. You can draw the masks on with paint or eyeliner. It’s a quick outfit idea that’s perfect for parties.
look. You know the one. Anyway, you’ll need a white vest top, plain bra, black pleated mini skirt and some black dolly pumps. Then just cut holes where your boobs are and voila! You have a Regina George costume. The blonde wig is optional because in the film it became a trend so you can be a trend-follower instead.
A couple of years ago I dressed as my own version of Batgirl. I paired a Batman swimming costume with a black fake leather skirt, some black tights and black boots. I painted a small mask over my eyes and made a cape. I really liked this costume, it was pretty easy and I wore the skirt and boots again.
you’ll know Audrey Hepburn’s iconic character, Holly Golightly. She’s sophisticated in her clothing, so for this costume, you’ll want to keep it simple but elegant. You will need a black shift dress you can work with a long or a short skirt, a long pearl necklace you can ideally wrap around your neck a few times, a cigarette holder, long black gloves that go to your elbows and some black pumps or heels. For her hair, you want to tease it into a beehive style, then pin at the back into an up-do, and if possible add in her iconic short fringe. Her makeup is very simple; a small wing on her eyeliner, blushed, rosy cheeks and a nude lip shade. You can pair this look with some black sunglasses too if you wish. Here is a tutorial I found for her hair and her makeup:
I love Waynes World and I think it’s pretty easy to replicate their outfits. For Wayne, you’ll need a plain black loose fit t-shirt, loose fit blue jeans with big holes in both knees, black converse and a ‘Waynes World’ baseball cap. Wayne has brown shoulder-length hair so if you can’t do this with your own hair then you may need a wig, but they’re easy to find on places like Amazon.
are the famous jackets. The Pink Ladies costumes are fairly simple; you can wear black skinny trousers (leggings or pleather leggings) or a long pencil skirt and a plain black fitted top. Black pumps work well with this costume. Add a pink scarf tied around your neck and the iconic Pink Ladies jacket. You can make your own jacket using a pink bomber jacket with the writing painted on or you can buy a premade one. The film is set in the 50’s so your hair should be styled in such a way. You could add curls to the end of your hair then brush out the bottom so it’s nice and fluffy. Here are some tutorials I have found on Youtube that you could use:
The T-Birds are just as easy. Some blue, straight-legged jeans, black converse, a plain white t-shirt and the leather jacket with the logo on the back. You can also add a cigarette if you want to too. Again, you can make your own jacket or you can buy one.
was found guilty. I mean, I obviously wasn’t around when the murder took place, one-hundred-and-fifty years ago, but I’ve done a lot of reading in to it.
On Sunday 18th April, everyone changed into their Sunday best outfits. Early evening, around 4 o’clock, Matthew and Charlotte decided to go for a walk. Charlotte mentioned that she wouldn’t be back in time to milk the cows, but that Matthew would. It wasn’t uncommon for them to leave together, then return separately. A witness, an elderly farmer, said he saw the lovers walking on the moors in the fog; he recognised Matthew’s limp but he couldn’t identify the young woman with him, he assumed it was Charlotte due to her dress. Later on, Matthew returned alone, his trousers were muddied and his shirt was torn. He denied being on the moors.
