about

"A nation is not defeated until the hearts of the women are on the ground." -Cree Proverb.

We may be worn from the battle of being woman. But we are standing tall, joyous, a beautiful song on our lips, hearts fully vibrant and alive!
Yéégo Shi Diné Asdzaani!

lyrics

"When you meet the most beautiful girl in the world,
it will not matter what language she is speaking.

What will matter is what she is saying.

And when you meet the most beautiful girl in the world,
it will not matter who she came with.

What will matter is who she is.

And when you meet the most stunning girl in the world,
it will not matter what she is wearing.

What will matter is why she is there.

And when you meet the most beautiful girl in the world,
it will not matter what is in her wallet.

What will matter is what she has given to the people!

And when you meet the most beautiful girl in the world,
it will not even matter what she looks like.

What will matter is how you feel after you have met and she is walking

away.

Beauty is on the inside not on the outside.
Beauty is on the inside, mask on the outside.
What is in the inside? All my women worldwide.
Look into her eyes and you will see what’s on the inside.
The media will misguide. All my people worldwide.
Beauty is on the inside not on the outside.
Beauty is on the inside not on the outside."
