On the roll to make change.

On the roll to make change.

Make change within myself, in my community, country In the lives of people I come across. I'm on the roll to make change. Because I believe in the empowerment of women.

I'm feminist
Not because I'm an angry woman
But because I don't want to sit while there is something I can do.
I'm feminist
Not because I want to be loud
But because I know and understand that in my whispering I can still influence and be heard.
I'm feminist
Not to make men feel intimidated
Because I know how it feels like but to make them realise my full potential and capabilities,
If men can do it I'm sure women can do it better with heels.

I'm feminisst
because I believe in change.
I believe in the future
Because the future is female.
I'm feminist
Because I don't want to conform
But I want to transform.
I believe I have the voice to liberate
The voice to give to others.
I'm feminist because I'm on the roll to make change.
On the roll to lead
As an iron sharpens an iron
There's a difference I can make In my small circles I lead
I lead in the front to pull others
I lead from the back to push others.

I'm on the roll to make Changes
To build my brand
To rise and ensure I take other women with
