There are certain elements that make up a diva-but nothing can define her—she wouldn’t allow it.

Some of the ingredients are:

• Confidence: Full awareness of who you are and what you represent.

• Independence : No need to rely on anyone or anything to complete you. Ability to stand on your own two feet.

• Presence: The ability to walk into a room and stop time for that split second just by being present.

• Style: A style that can’t be categorized, but common people want to emulate.

• Beauty: Inner beauty. On the inside having a heart and soul that could win any beauty pageant, and although may be physically beautiful—She chooses not to always use her looks

• Dignity: Denies anything less than the highest respect.

• Strong Spirit: May have to be harsh if that’s what it takes to get it known she’s a force to be reckoned with. Maybe when people start assuming she’s a B*tch , but by any means necessary can easily become the state of mind.

• Pride: Not stubborn, but prideful. Not willing to let someone put her or her beliefs down at least not in her presence. She stands on solid ground and can’t allow someone to demean that.

• Success: At whatever it is she does. Successful at motherhood or a successful doctor or Oscar winning actress. Whatever journey she begins—she succeeds at. Setting trends and proving doubters wrong.

• “ENVY IS A SIN” Making women remind themselves of this, because they constantly have to stop hating.

False Stereotypes of a Diva

• MONEY: A diva doesn’t have to be rich. It usually helps, but it doesn’t determine her divaness. A diva can make a dollar out of 15 cents, look like a million bucks with not a dollar. A diva is a doer—money can’t stop her.

• Beauty: There are some ugly divas.I won’t name any famous ones—but we all know one. A girl that may not be traditionally pretty—but she knows and carries herself like she is the flyest chick on the block.As long as she meets the other elements—What makes her not a diva? Beauty really is in the eye of the beholder.We all know some unattractive people with a good looking partner or they are single and they walk around like they are the bomb … it’s all about confidence

• Famous: How many “divas” fall off everyday. A diva is famous in her own surroundings. There are a lot of talented, graceful, “should be famous”, undiscovered people, and a real diva she doesn’t need fame. She is her own reality show.

• The Title: A diva doesn’t need to be “titled” a diva by anyone—she knows she’s fabulous—and she knows everyone knows it. She’s fierce and proud.
