What’s Your Superpower?
Embrace Your Weird and Own It
Have you ever stopped to think about your superpower?
We often idolize superheroes for their strength, skills, and extraordinary abilities. Wonder Woman is stronger than any man alive and can read people’s feelings. Supergirl has superhuman strength — and neither of them is even from Earth. Literally aliens! Storm (my girl!) can control and manipulate the weather. And let’s not forget Captain Marvel, Black Widow, and countless other superheroines who defy expectations and redefine what it means to be powerful.
They’re all “weird” in their own ways. But notice this: no one calls them freaks or weirdos. Why? Because they recognize, understand, and embrace what makes them different from the rest of humanity — and they use their gifts wisely.
Real-Life Superwomen Who Embraced Their Powers
Fiction aside, there are real women — especially Black women — who didn’t let circumstances hold them back:
- Michelle Obama — redefining grace, leadership, and influence.
- Serena Williams — dominating tennis and breaking barriers in sports.
- Oprah Winfrey — shaping media, culture, and philanthropy.
- Viola Davis — excelling in film, stage, and advocacy.
- Winnie Harlow — redefining beauty standards and inspiring confidence.
They overcame naysayers, regulations, and societal expectations to become icons in their fields.
Your Superpower Is Already Within You
Here’s the truth: being a woman is your superpower.
You were created to fill a void no one else can. Your body, your mind, and your abilities are unique and impossible to imitate. Your superpower transcends:
- Skin color
- Health condition
- Body weight
- Ethnicity
- Height
- Social expectations
Who are others to judge what is socially acceptable? Often, it’s their fear or difference speaking, not your limitation.
How to Turn Your “Weird” Into Your Superpower
- Recognize your uniqueness — understand what sets you apart.
- Embrace your “weird” — those quirks and qualities others might call odd are your strength.
- Use your gifts intentionally — apply your abilities in ways that positively impact yourself and others.
Darling, your differences are your power. Stop shrinking. Stop apologizing. Own your weird, embrace your superpower, and let the world see it shine
