Estee Lauder
We know the name from the adverts on television and know that Estee Lauder is associated with beauty --- apart from this --- I didn’t even know that Estee Lauder was actually a woman who started a beauty empire. Who was she as a person? How did she become so popular? How did Estee Lauder become one of the 20 most influential business geniuses of the 20th Century?
Ruth Elizabeth StiffPublished 3 years ago in VivaTo All The Women In History Who Made Us Who We Are Today.
Women are individuals in whom we all derive from , individuals whose love and strength comes from an inner relief of years obtaining desperation and suppression. This challenge is dedicated to all the strong women out there and yet I am uncapable of addressing this letter to one being ; therefore i must go ahead and express and share my Gratitude to all the women through out history who made us who we are today!
Ama AdarkwahPublished 3 years ago in VivaMata Hari
One solemn truth of human history is the presence of millions of stories that have all gone untold. Even if all the dead were remembered by the living, there wouldn’t be enough paper in the world to chronicle all their lives. There wouldn’t be enough time to relay every story by word of mouth. Millions of lives have been lived in hiding from the eyes of history, leaving marks on the world in ways the living will never quite remember or understand; then, teetering over the edge of an abyss are a few stories on the verge of being forgotten, like the story of a woman who was executed by the French government during World War I, which was the culmination of 41 years of a life that perfectly illustrated the need for women’s liberation. In the end, her only crime was her determination to provide for herself and to survive.

Official Millennial Black: Inspiring a Generation
Coming off the magical heels of Black History Month and in the effervescent throes of Women’s History Month, while we should always be sharing and celebrating these stories, what better time than now to continue highlighting strong, powerful, creative black women who continue shattering the glass ceiling in business, revolutionizing the media sphere, and inspiring this generation and beyond.
Sadie KaminskyPublished 3 years ago in Viva Healthy Roots Dolls
When I was growing up all dolls had straight blond hair and blue-eyes, from baby dolls to Barbies, so I never had a doll that looked like me. I’m not blond. I don’t have blue eyes. Ok, today I can have both, but what if I don’t want that?

Families are complicated, and integrating into someone else’s can be tough. No one knows this better than Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex.
Reconstructing the Norm
In honor of Black History month, I must say there is not enough ink in a box of pens to commemorate the multitude of black creators who have inspired me. While I reflect on challenges past and continuous, I can celebrate in strides the overarching progress made within the community. So much of this progress either acknowledged or overshadowed by events of the past year.
Luna JupiterPublished 3 years ago in VivaWho Are T.V.'s Toughest Ladies?
Hollywood. The glitz and glamour of the screen, the center of entertainment in America and the world. Known for its' famous people, beautiful women, and the hustle and bustle lifestyle. Many have gone there seeking fame and fortune only to end up strung out and used by the magic city. For all of its' glitz and glamour, its' triumph and tragedies, there are those that get there and make good on their dreams of being stars. In the center of the action that is Hollywood, there are those that thrive by being absolutely badass. These stronger, bigger-than-life characters, take us on their adventures and capture our imaginations with their grandiose stories and incredible, god-like physiques. These are my picks for the toughest of the tough chics gracing movies and television screens.

Eunice Kathleen Waymon, a woman with an inconsiderable amount of talent, a love for all things fine and a voice that spoke decades ahead of her time.
Kayleigh TaylorPublished 3 years ago in VivaJennifer Hudson goes for the real and emotional
As I sat down on my floor, overhead lights off, lamp on, snacks within reach and journal open ready to take notes, I could only think of three words to define the In Conversation Panel I had watched.
Kaitlynne RainnePublished 3 years ago in VivaI am Woman
Because I was born at the end of 1999, I missed so many historic events. That's why I tend to watch movies and try to read books to educate myself somewhat more than the history lessons taught in school.
Willow PeddyPublished 3 years ago in Viva"The Lady with the Lamp"
We know her as “The Lady with the Lamp.” Florence Nightingale can be called ‘the mother of nursing’ as she did so much within her life-time to change nursing to the standards, the very high standards, which we see today. Her life is an interesting one.
