To tell you the truth, I did not know who she was until I heard her name and work from one of my colleague. After the research, I came to know that she is a social activist and a lecturer who has dedicated her life to combating the sexual exploitation of women and children.

Her works inspire me as she never gives up and encourages to be better version of own self. She strengthens my aim because she is able to achieve something I know I never could. She provide me with food for thought which betters me and at least motivate me to grow as a person. Anuradha koirala is my superhero and following research shows who she is and why she has meant so much to me.

Asoka, an emperor born in 304 BC, earns the title as an “enlightened ruler.” He guarded his citizens during the Conquest of Kalinga by teaching them how to properly govern, and conquer land non-aggressively, which helped them become a conjoined country. During his reign, he did few malevolent things but he surpassed them with the positive deeds. Some of those accomplishments included providing services for the men he murdered, allowing the citizens who were to be killed to speak with their family, and laboring hard for his people and their futures.

The person I decided to choose is a very important family member to me who I care a lot about and is part of my mother’s side family. The person I chose is Silvana Giono, or also known as “Nonna,” meaning grandma in Italian. She is a very brave woman whom I look up to everyday of my life. Silvana grew up in Turin, Italy during the worst circumstances and has many stories yet to be told to me.
Like every human, Grandma India sometimes focuses more on herself than others’ feelings and can be too harsh when reprimanding her grandchildren. An instance of the first flaw is on a Monday after school, when the family is playing Monopoly. “She didn’t look up. She was preoccupied with examining her next move on the board. We were already resigned to the fact that she would skunk us all once again. ‘Right, how so?’ she mumbled, not taking her attention off the game for even one instant” (Pattillo 136). In this quote, we see that Grandma India is too preoccupied with the game to pay attention to Melba’s telling of her school day. Now, normally she would care more about Melba’s experiences, but in this moment she is more caught up in playing a game that

Frida Kahlo Born July 6, 1907, only three years prior to the Mexican Revolution, Frida Kahlo was a curious, wild, passionate girl who aspired to be a doctor. She grew up in a time in which a great creative movement began, one that would cause great transformation in Mexico. During and post the Revolution, Mexico transformed socially, politically, and culturally, giving itself a new identity of strength and solidarity. This is a crucial component to her life story, as she would later on lie about her birth date and claim it to be born in 1910 – giving herself the title of a child of the Revolution. Young Frida desired to learn and receive an education, and despite disapproval from her mother, applied to school and was among thirty-five girls accepted to the “Escuela Nacional Preparatoria.”
Teen activists are inspiring and helpful. They are the ones who are determined to make a difference in the world. They are the ones who never give up on their dreams and hopes.

Yayoi Kusama is an inventive Japanese artist who was part of multiple avant-garde movements of the 20th century and who is still creating innovative art in the 21st century. One of her later works, an installation titled Pumpkin of 2008, is a particularly good example of her style as an amassing of her experimentation in technique and personal expression. Her life experiences are very much present in her art, and it is for this reason that studying some of the aspects of her life is helpful, before examining her art, for by revealing some of these events, her artistic perspective may be better understood.
Lastly, and most important to me, is her that her camera lens is aimed at exposing injustice. I am a social work major and I have enjoyed seeing how others bring to light what is in the darkness. A picture is worth a thousand words and she has chosen to use those words to be a voice for the voiceless. Her work has inspired me to be creative and innovative in my fight for justice. She has inspired me to inquire how I can share what breaks my heart in a way that challenges audiences to want to join with me in the fight against racism, sexism, marginalization, and many more injustices that currently plague our
Kingdom Woman is about women embracing their purpose, power, and possibilities here on earth. I would recommend this book to all women out there looking to find God and their selves. The first few chapters are about our faith, hope, confidence, and perfection. We are all strong, capable, giving full of our seasons. Most women set their standards really high but in gods eyes it’s not high enough. Women have a lot on their plate. They have a house to clean, dinner to prepare, clothes to wash, and our jobs contain so much and sometimes we get over whelmed. Sometimes we want to give up but God doesn’t give up on us when we are not being fair to him. As a woman we have more responablilites than many may think. Now don’t get bored and stop reading
