We all admire certain people as individuals. This will depend on many things in a person's life, like how they were raised and perhaps even hardships they have endured.

These women inspire me because they are strong, passionate, hardworking, and beautiful inside and out.

Reneé Rapp

For my non-theatrical friends, Reneé Rapp is an American actress who is best known for playing Regina George in Mean Girls on Broadway. Reneé is only 20 years old with a killer voice, amazing spirit, and many encouraging messages to young girls.

The moment I heard her voice I thought it sounded like pure power. She is the definition of girl power. Her attitude and kindness are the perfect mixture of "the sweet girl" and badass.

Reneé also speaks out for what she believes in. One of my favorite topics she speaks out about is positive body image. She also is not afraid to stand up for what she believes in, and this is the kind of confidence that needs to be seen by young women everywhere.

Jennifer Aniston

I am hope we are all aware of the queen herself: Jen Aniston. Jennifer is best known for her role in Friends as Rachel Green, as well as many other hit movies.

I admire Jennifer for many reasons. She is a strong individual who is as beautiful as she is talented. Jen is an amazing person who is an inspiration to aspiring actresses like me. Love you, Jen!

Anne Hathaway

The last actress I want to talk about is the talented Anne Hathaway. My favorite movies Anne has been involved in include The Princess Diaries and The Devil Wears Prada.

Anne was a very strong influence to my younger self. She was always the character in the movies who rose from nothing to be something. A strong women who fought her way to the top. This made me want to be regal and stand up for myself.

Her warm smile and kind heart caught my attention from the start. She is a powerhouse in Hollywood.

Why these women inspire me

These women are my heroes! They taught me to speak out about the things that matter to me, to be a diva sometimes, to love without judgment, and so much more. These are just a few of the many women I admire and want to be like someday.
