GIRLS WHO GET IT - ALICIA KEYS
Alicia Augello Cook. (Who the heck is that you may ask?)
Well, you can thank her for penning songs like "A Woman's Worth" and "Unthinkable"; which without changing a single lyric tell the story of millions of women far and wide.
The magic that happens when she allows her fingers to tell OUR story through her music, the honesty in her songwriting, and the connection she makes with her audience with her sultry voice, are more than enough for us to fall in love with Alicia Keys.
But beyond the awards and accolades of her impressive music career (30 million albums sold worldwide just to put it into perspective), countless commercially successful contributions to other artists' albums with her songwriting, and even a respectable acting gig in the movie Smokin' Aces, Alicia - easily New York's sweetheart - is also an example-setting philanthropist having co-founded non-profit organization "Keep a Child Alive" that provides medicines and treatment to families suffering from HIV or AIDS in Africa.
Grace personified - Alicia handled the scrutiny of her questionable hook-up with Hip-Hop producer Swizz Beats with beauty and elloquence, never allowing the gossip columns to cramp her style or diminish the joy of living out the dream that all young women dream of...to fall in love. Now married, and the happy mother of son Egypt, Alicia is poised to continue to "get it" and give women a voice, so that maybe, just maybe....we can get it too.
