Why the Traits You Hide

Are the Ones That Make You Powerful

The Power You Don’t Realize You Have

Have you ever stopped to think about your superpower? We 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. Storm, my girl, can manipulate the weather itself. And then there’s Captain Marvel, Black Widow, and so many other superheroines who defy expectations and redefine what it means to be powerful.

They’re all “weird” in their own ways. But notice something: no one calls them freaks or weirdos. Why? Because they recognize, understand, and embrace what makes them different from the rest of humanity. They use their gifts wisely.

Real-Life Superwomen Who Embraced Their Power

Fiction aside, there are real women — especially Black women — who refused to let circumstances define or limit them. Michelle Obama reshaped what grace, leadership, and influence look like. Serena Williams dominated tennis and shattered barriers in sports. Oprah Winfrey shaped media, culture, and philanthropy. Viola Davis continues to excel in film, on stage, and in advocacy. Winnie Harlow redefined beauty standards and inspires confidence around the world.

They all overcame naysayers, limitations, and expectations to become icons in their fields. Their stories remind us that embracing what makes you different is the foundation of real power.

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 conditions, body weight, ethnicity, height, and every social expectation projected onto you.

Who are others to judge what is socially acceptable? Often, it’s their fear or discomfort speaking — never your limitation.

How to Turn Your “Weird” Into Your Power

Your uniqueness is not an accident. Recognize what sets you apart. Embrace the parts of you others may not understand. Those quirks and qualities people label as “weird” are often your greatest strengths. Use your gifts intentionally, in ways that positively impact your life and the lives of those around you.

Darling, your differences are your power. Stop shrinking. Stop apologizing. Own your weird. Embrace your superpower. Let the world see it shine.
