All Hail the Queen

The word “Woman”, is a word that carries a thousand implications. Many of us know what they are, the stage of emotions, tenderness, sacrifice… As unusual as it may sound I will be quoting Beyoncé that said “The most alluring thing a woman can have is Confidence”.

Using my own words, the Woman is fierce… The woman is the soldier that carries the faith, the passion, the fight and the peace through a flame in her fiery eyes.

During these tough times, imagine all the women that are walking the hallways of hospitals, devoting their time and strength to insure safety and provide optimal care. These same women come back to their homes to nurture their families, to ensure that their homes’ wellbeing is maintained. If you just picture all the pressure they go through, the fear of transferring any harm to their homes and the fear of not being stronger than the virus in their workplace, this picture is enough for you to see how strong a lady can be. In the most diplomatic of battlefields, her patience is at stake; her body is at risk, her sanity and mental health consistently under test, she is a weaponless warrior.

You don’t always need a crown to coronate a queen, the delicacy, resilience; nobility and allegiance are the melodious harmonies of her enthroning.
