Activity 3: Girl Power [6 points]
Jessica Mauboy is an Aboriginal Australian singer. She rose to fame when she was runner-up in the 2006 Australian Idol, and has gone on to record a number of very successful songs. She is a role model for both girls, and indigenous Australians as she has been so successful in her music and acting career.
Dame Kiri Te Kanawa is an opera singer from Aotearoa/New Zealand. She became one of the best sopranos (a female singer with a high voice) in the world. Dame Kiri Te Kanawa is Māori, however she was adopted when she was a baby and very little is known about her birth family.
For young singers, both of these women can serve as role models - people who have faced challenges and overcome them in order to achieve their dreams of becoming professional singers.
My inspiration is Sam Smith he is a singer who treats everyone the same and he is also someone who tries his hardest to get people to except who they are and love them self that just one thing i love about him he makes amazing music and is still doing colabs with other artists.
Kia Ora Courtney,
ReplyDeleteWell done on completing W2D4A2. You are on a roll and I am enjoying reading each and every one of your great blog posts!
I really enjoy reading all the posts about this activity because it is about Role Models. I think it is so nice that you chose to write about Sam Smith. I really like how you spoke about him and why you think he is a role model. I think it is so cool that you wrote about how he tries to help people accept who they are and love themselves for who they are. He really is all about self love and being the best “YOU” which I think is the best thing!
Did you know very much about Jessica Mauboy or Dame Kiri Te Kanawa before doing this activity?
Ka kite ano,
Kueni :)
