So everyday I am provided with a list of terms that people entered in search engines and thus found the blog for Hijas Americanas. The things people enter all over the charts (some absolutely relveant, some really naughty) but one consistent concept I see daily and in multiple entries is FEMALE EMPOWERMENT SONGS. Hence, I Can Rescue Me and The Soundtrack of Female Empowerment are two of the most read blogs on this site. You can find the I Can Rescue Me IMix at Itunes. Today, I am introducing another soundtrack that I promised long ago. Giving Up Beauty The Playlist features songs that celebrate the spirit of all women– releasing us from any confining beauty standards and making beauty broad and true. Check out these tunes and relish in beautiful, wonderful, unbelievable you.
While watching programming on Noggin, my children and I have seen Sweet Honey In The Rock sing a children’s song, “I like it that way”. They do so much to inspire self-confidence and their video is full of energetic children of many colors and hair textures. That was how I was introduced to their music. That song is on the album Experience 101.
I just love Sweet Honey and the Rock and even have one of their children’s albums (I Got Shoes!) but I haven’t hear “I like it that way.” One of their children’s songs that I love is 4 U 2 Know. I am going to go check out “I like it that way” right now.
PS: Sweet Honey is touring this winter and spring. Check their schedule at http://www.sweethoney.com. They are unreal in concert.
