We are living now in a golden age
of television for minorities right now. It’s amazing to see lead characters
across the board where everyone can identify with all of these characters on
television. The women we see now are
independent, fierce, well -educated, highly functional, quick thinkers. Let’s
take for example, Olivia Pope, Annaliese Keating, Meredith Grey , and Alex
Parrish who appear on “Scandal”, “How to get away with murder”, “Grey’s
Anatomy” , and “Quantico”.Loretha “Cookie” Lyon played by Taraji P. Henson who
appears on “Empire” and now we even have
a new “Supergirl” for the ages featured on CBS. We are living in age of women where strong
roles exist and there isn’t just the stereotypical role of being a housewife,
raising children, and managing household duties. Women have evolved completely
since the 1950s and now in the second decade of the millennium they are making
a true mark for themselves. I love how now we have roles for all women in
television today.
Now enter the new butt-kicking
heroine of the millennial generation. The timing couldn’t be more perfect for
young women to have someone to aspire and look up to right now. I personally
would love one day to have a little girl of my own. I want her to have positive
role models around her the same way I did. I looked up and still admire women
like Oprah Winfrey, Alicia Keys, Beyonce, Hillary Clinton, Michelle Obama, so many women from
all over the world I look to for strength and inspiration. You get a sense of
that from this show. To have a show like this for young women today show’s them
that you are truly capable of anything out there. You wonder how does the woman
who has everything balance it all? It takes time, sacrifice, patience, strength
physically, and tolerance. You have to know what you’re willing to give up too.
Enter in Supergirl the series
aired back in October starring Melissa Benoist, Calista Flockhart, and Mehcad
Brooks. The show is featured around a modern day age where Supergirl returns to Earth to give her mission and help save lives.
Look at Supergirl aka Kara Zor El
she has to balance working for a prominent magazine and save the world when
disaster strikes at any second. She has to be a dedicated employee and also
follow through to save the world. Any show that has that powerful message I am 100
percent behind. Just like in real life women figure out a way to time manage
