After listening to and watching all of the videos today about important African Americans that have shaped the world we are all living in today I chose who has had the biggest impact on my life. For me the person who had an impact on my life out of those few people we learned about was Beyoncé Knowles. Even though I think that Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King Jr. did extraordinary things in their life times but since I am only 16 I can more closely relate to Beyoncé. Growing up I’ve listened to Beyoncé’s music from her career with Destiny’s Child to her solo career. Her music is amazing and as a young teenager I can really relate to her music. Her music is not the only reason why I look up to her. She is a young African American woman who has won many awards such as Grammys and has been nominated for many others. She has really opened up many doors for women in the music industry never mind also for the African American race. She truly demonstrates what a hardworking power-driven woman can do in life.
