Chapter 8: Self-made and Miss Americana

Unscripted Musings

Hey coconuts,

Welcome to the 8th instalment of Unscripted Musings, we will be talking about a past queen and a present day queen, both these women are self made and role models. Through their work they have uplifted millions and millions of women. Madame CJ Walker was one of the first women to give employment to over 3000 women of colour. While Taylor Swift has a different kind of impact, she has allowed women to feel seen and has defined all emotions around love and friendship with the power of her pen. We Stan these queens.

P.S: We will see you in 2 weeks instead of one, for our season 2 premiere.
