Powerful Women I Look Up To: KESHA
14:30
Name: Kesha Rose Sebert
Age: 29
Occupation: Singer, Songwriter
Reason I look up to her: Her talent and ability to write amazing pop songs, her bravery in standing up and against sexual violence.
With an IQ of 140+ Kesha is not only ridiculously creatively talented, but she is also incredibly intelligent. Defying the norm of pop star's bringing in professional songwriters to write their hits, Kesha has writing credits on every single one of her songs, bar the limited edition song "Old Flames Can't Hold a Candle to You", which was written by her mum instead. Having the ability to write incredible pop songs is not one to be sniffed at, and one I wish I had.
Balancing a career with battling an eating disorder, while also dealing with nasties such as Perez Hilton is no easy feat, and one she seeming succeeded in. Her positive force is felt throughout social media, with her Instagram being filled with 'Eff you's' to the people that have brought her down or tried to stifle her voice. She walked the fine line that some people do when discussing mental health or eating disorders, as has been noticed in recent years that some people tend to romanticize mental health or eating disorders, but she managed to bring attention to the issue without making it seem like a trend or something to 'try to have'.
Speaking out about her experience with an abusive person in her life publicly and not being afraid to face all the backlash that is inevitable when a women speaks out about rape or sexual assault is something so important that survivors need to hear. They need to see that it is not their fault and never was and never will be - Kesha is living proof of that.
