Saint Jeanne d’Arc - respected and revered warrior and military leader in a time when women were treated like chattel, and never backed down from a fight and what she believed in to the very end. She’s my WWJD anytime I feel scared.
Shania Twain - singer/songwriter who crossed genres with music that let me know I could be tough and feminine at the same time (and glad to be a woman). If I had a soundtrack for my life, all her albums would be in it.
Rumiko Takahashi - manga artist/author with one of the longest careers in the business and wrote several stories that are the perfect blend of action, romance, fantasy, and humor. I hope that my stories are able to do the same someday.
Beatrix Potter - author/illustrator who got her literary start and romances later in life. It took her a while to find her calling and community, giving me hope and the knowledge that I don’t have to have my life worked out before I’m 36 (rom com age limit).
