This one hurts 😭
I’ve always loved Dolly Parton, and not just because she’s Dolly.
Yes, she’s sparkly, over the top and completely herself, but that’s not the part I think women and girls should look up to most
It’s her heart
She came from nothing, worked her butt off, built an incredible life and then actually used her money and success to help people. Kids, families, education, communities. She puts it back where it matters, not in her own pocket.
That’s the kind of woman I want girls looking up to.
Dream big. Work hard. Make the money. Wear the rhinestones if you want to. Be exactly who you are.
But don’t ever think your looks are the most important thing you have to offer.
Be kind, help people, give back, and if you’re lucky enough to build something great, use some of it to make life a little better for somebody else.
That’s what makes someone really shine.
And I think Dolly is a pretty damn good example of that. 💗
