Frida Kahlo - 1907 to 1954, is one of my icons and a goddess in her own right, for whom I have great admiration - view this You Tube video, which has images of her life with some cool music too.
Someone asked me why I love Frida so much, and her work...and I have done quite a bit of reflecting on this lately... Obviously I did not know her, but from what I have read and seen, on the surface I love her because she is so colourful, flamboyant, wild...I imagine her to be frank, bold, boisterous, compassionate, passionate, moody, emotional, imaginative, loving...I find myself deeply respectful of her journey in life; her determination to conquer life's tests, she showed great courage to succeed over not succumb to her life's pain. She'd probably be quite opinionated, a social justice advocate, a feminist..all of these things are what I imagine her to be and for which I admire and strive towards in my own life. Over the years she has had a great impact on many people, particularly womyn in the world, myself being one of them.
