Jacinta Lal: Miss

Jacinta Lal tells us all why we shouldn’t mess with her on her latest single ‘Miss’. Shutting down negative judgements directed at her, Lal is the outspoken woman we all need cheering us on. Jacinta Lal shares her top five badass women with us! 

1. Mum – I know she has gone through so much just so I can get on my two feet and a lot has happened quietly. I will always be grateful for every single thing she has done for me in my life.

2. Lilly Singh – The Indian-born Canadian started out as a small YouTuber, but today she has affected millions of lives through her sense of humour and positive messages. Her work ethic is inspiring. She is dedicated to have video content published twice a week. Even when she is overseas on world tours, despite the WiFi being slow or room lighting being bad, she does her best to stay consistent. Her hard work is paying off with her recent announcement of her new show on NBC.

3. Serena Williams – I think the point I really started looking up to Serena was during the Australian Open in 2007. She went into the tournament with a lot of body-shaming thrown at her. I remember when she won the Grand Slam how inspired I was at how she proved so many critics wrong. Her self-belief is strong and her will is unbreakable.

4. Missy Elliot – She is iconic and influential. Missy’s creativity is always entertaining. Whether it is her wacky outfits or her weird but interesting music videos, her vibe is unique and she just makes everything work together flawlessly.

5. Jessi – Besides her husky voice, dancing and obvious talent, Jessi’s personality has always stuck out to me. Born and brought up in New York, the rapper constantly defies Korean standards with her confident attitude and motivating lyrics. She just gives off boss vibes all-year round.
