Aretha Franklin: Case Study In Respect, Soul & Feminine Bravado
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 ก.ย. 2024
- When I think of Aretha Franklin I think of feminine swag, soul, and over-the-top antics. I think of a woman who excelled because she shared her gift with the world, and she lived totally and completely unapologetically. Her life is a grand case study for how we as women command respect, take charge of our destiny, and live with soul!
***In regards to Aretha's mother, I note that the story of her 'leaving' is contested. This is because I do not know, for sure, the reason and the purpose of the video is much greater. She did leave, but it is VERY likely that it was due to abusive and/or oppressive conditions with Aretha's father CL Franklin. The point of mentioning that is that her departure and eventual premature death, inevitably, caused a great deal of sorrow and trauma for Aretha and her siblings.
The Five Laws of Feminine Power is my signature course on soft power, seduction and feminine energy.

She took her wig off!! 😂😂😂👸🏾
lol!
This mini-documentary and commentary was inspiring! Respect to Ayesha's legacy
Wow. Ayesha your videos are amazing. You choose your words with such care and elegance yet nothing you say appears weak. Everything is grounded but still very emancipating. You really are what you preach.
And Aretha was a force of life! RIP
Kolkhoz Woman I concur and your facts are intact! Not a message of negativity and falsehoods. The only remark that is incorrect is of the notion that her mother abandoned her children. She abandoned her husband, it was said by all her children that she and her children visited each other as often as they could. She was also not financially able to care for and house her five children once she left her husband.
She is Goddess sent!
Ayesha, you're just on point! As a guy, I have played back most of your videos, but my best was the one on Oshun! Honestly, that was powerful and I'll recommend that to ladies to watch that to rediscover yourself and your inner strength! Well done Ayesha.... You are a queen too!
Finally!!! A vid. The drought was real
Ayesha mam your videos really give women a human face I've never seen before and I'm in awe. Your videos are really magic! So much dignity! I've unlearnt the idea that my body and my womanhood is a burden and betrayal. Really thankful
This was a TRUE tribute to the essence that is Aretha Franklin!!!!!!!!
Beautiful tribute to the Queen of Soul. Ayesha, you will be missed. So much wisdom, class and love. Rest In Peace, my sister, Queen.
What an amazing unexpected surprise!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
I am in awe of you
I LOVE the abundant representation of coloured women in all of your videos.

This video is powerul and much needed. Gives me so much confidence as a black woman. I am proud!
Thank you so much for these videos, I really needed this type of pick me up, your videos are must for a black women to feel energized and inspired!

I'm so excited about finding your videos. I love hearing you speak on The Grapevine and happened to come across one of your comments leading to your page. Ah your videos are amazing and enlightening. Now I have to study more about Oshun and watching your video and can't wait to see more from you.
Your voice is so appreciated. Thank you for doing Aretha Justice! I know you are busy but I hope this means we will see more regular uploads 🤗
WOW, You are Brilliant! So insightful !! You truly bring Aretha's Commanding Presence home Asheya!!! Thank you
The wait is over! You’re back 🖤🖤🖤🖤
Loved this video! Lol can u please upload consistently?
Laniqua & Kaniqua thank you. There are more videos but I am not a professional TH-camr nor is that my goal. I write, speak and run a digital platform for a living and the team is small. These videos are an extension of womenlovepower. When I step away, it’s not laziness or disinterest, it’s because I’m working on other aspects of the business, like courses which take at least 6 months of exhaustive creative labor to complete. And there is only one of me. I hope you enjoy what I can offer , when I do, and fortunately there are many you tubers out there sharing their 2 cents as well.
Women Love Power ahh I see, thank you for taking the time to respond. Although I do wish you were a professional youtuber ( I just LOVE all your content, and would really like more lol) but I however, now understand why you don’t upload as much. I’ll just continue to be supportive . Btw womenlovepower is a dope site! :)
Jesus I thought I had a difficult beginning, some of our ancestors really went through a lot. Thank you for reminding me that I am not my past. I am 46 and still struggling to understand what my talents and purpose is. In your quiz, I am sage first, Queen second, lover first.
I really want to learn to command this respect, definitely was taught to play small within and out of my family.
LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! Too bad I had to find out what a legend she was after her death. My goodness!
Thank you Ayesha , for living these gems for us .. I’m so grateful . Rest in Power beautiful.
Wow! You put together this video so beautifully and professionally. Very inspirational!! Thank you!
Native women still aren't being heard but eventually
Why are the comment section disabled on the more recent videos. I always enjoy reading the different view points of people.
You are/were also a Pioneer. A Level Up Guru before it became Main Stream. Sending you love and support. I am going to register for your course!!
Oh my goodness, thank you Deanna. I'm humbled.
Ayesha, I so appreciate you sharing your wisdom on these videos, you are blowing me away! You are such a brilliant and beautiful inspiration, and your videos fill me up, thank you and Goddess bless you!
Thank you Lara!
Gratitude 💜🖤✨
As Neapolitans, we are really proud of our blackness.
Most of us descend from North Africa, between the many cultures that influenced our genes.
We are the most feminine place in Italy, in my opinion. My land is volcanic and this speaks for itself.
Napoli is a woman.
She’s a lover.
She’s a mother.
She’s a child.
And she can be so wise…
That kind of wisdom that comes from your gut, that comes from your soul.
Womanhood has always been a thing for my, being a Neapolitan, since I was a very young woman
Our “womaness”… has always been a thing.
The thing.
We know how to song the song our these times.
As most southern people of the world.
And it is our time.
It is time for our soul to speak.
It’s time to put things right.
And to find other ways.
I’ve been watching your videos over the past week & they’re super inspiring.
I’m so glad I discovered your channel.
I LIVE for your videos. So much wisdom, thank you Ayesha x
It was an unexpected but a pleasant surprise. Thank you so much. I love your videos. They are so inspiring and informative. Love you and love your channel.
I've watched 3 of your videos so far.. Love your knowledge and eloquence.
Now I’m the mood for soul food 🥘 lol 😂
Chocolate Divine literally was thinking the same thing while editing 😩
Your content is just AMAZING!
You're back!!! Please be consistent, queen!
Iris McFly there are more videos but I am not a professional TH-camr nor is that my goal. I write, speak and run a digital platform for a living and the team is small. These videos are an extension of womenlovepower. When I step away, it’s not laziness or disinterest or lack of consistency as i actually work from all day every day! Its because I’m working on other aspects of the business, like courses which take at least 6 months of exhaustive creative labor to complete. And there is only one of me. I do these videos when I can, as a supplementary aspect of my platform, but they are not actually my full time thing or the bread and butter of womenlovepower. I hope you enjoy what I can offer , when I do, and fortunately there are many you tubers out there also sharing their 2 cents, more consistently, as well.
Woke up to a wonderful notification of a new video from you! Great content & very timely. Thank you for you work & effort❣️
The fact that you uploaded this on my birthday is such confirmation for me
This really touched me, thank you for this video!!
I love the song Sing A Little Prayer and A Rose is Still a Rose
Her mother didn’t just abandon her. Her father was a promiscuous cheAt who impregnated a young girl himself. Her mother couldn’t take the abuse and left but still sent for the children many summers until she died. Back then it was hard to get custody for women who left.
Thank you for all you do. I really needed this.
Amazing job with this! I always come to you channel when I need inspiration
Thank you

WELCOME BACK!😍
Absolutely love your videooossssss!
Absolutely brilliant
Yassss!!!!! A new video!!!
thank you for this 🌷
what are you the queen of?
eliza sapara grant I would say self-definition!!! Or maybe even speaking truth to power!!! What about you?!
I SEE YOU IMPROVING YOUR STUFF
I LOVE this episode, however, how does one fight off the hate and jealousy that accompany these traits? Some people will literally try to harm a person that dears to speak their mind and walk in their truth. How do you protect your energy, essence and peace of mind in a world/space that refuses to value you? The last 5mins served as a reminder for what matters. No experience good or bad is a waste. It texturisers one's life and a reminder to never live in the past.
This is so inspiring
OMG I love you, Ayesha..I really do 😂
Empowering video!
This is the 4th video of yours I am watching. I always check the comments once I finish to see what women are taking from each one. Sadly though, I've come to notice something missing. Where are the men? All the men like myself, who are confident enough in their "masculine power" that they can bend the knee and support females as they find their way back to their true power. Those who supposedly are crying out for the return of the "woman".
Great video!
9:21, why she shade Pattie like thattttttttttt?
Definitely admire her
I love your videos. ❤️❤️💖
Damn didn't know the great Aretha Franklin had been through them things. ouch
