"I am a woman phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, thats me."
- Maya Angelou
When I think of modern women such as myself, my mother, my sisters, aunts, and those close to me the word that comes to mind is phenomenal, because that is exactly what we are and so much more.

Modern women are BALANCED
In recent years we have seen an uprising in women taking on the challenge of careers and motherhood. Michelle Obama is the perfect example of a woman who has shown that through hard work and dedication, woman can obtain respectable careers as well as maintain an active role in the home. She has shown a nation that by focusing on your education and becoming who you are meant to be, all other aspects of life will fall into place.
THERE IS NO
LIMIT TO WHAT WE, AS WOMEN, CAN ACCOMPLISH
-MICHELLE
OBAMA
Women have an endless amount of strength harvested within and with the right amount of courage and guidance, we can accomplish anything.
Modern women are I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T

Society has often depicted women as needing men financially, however millions of families are being raised by single mothers successful.
I am no bird; and no net ensnares me: I am a free human
being with an independent will.

Modern women are expected to fit this unrealistic mold physically and being told what "body type" is the right type and what is appropriate to wear given your body type.

Modern women are LEADERS
When a nation is not ready and has not accepted the idea of female empowerment, it must be taken by force and reckoned with later. Oprah was the first of a few women who bombarded her way into show business and created a platform for herself that lead her to ultimate success.

Modern women are CHAMPIONS
Women have over come countless acts of adversity to be where they are today. They were courageous, dedicated, and persistent in their ways to seek justice. Although there are some battles still being fought, there is no doubt that we are still champions for our efforts.
