Sophia Grace Best Friends
Sophia Grace Brownlee is a YouTube superstar and personal pal of Ellen DeGeneres. In her new video "Best Friends," she basically just hangs out with a bunch of friends doing friend stuff. They put on makeup, try on clothes, go shopping — and sing about how they don't need boys in their lives.
It's a silly video at face value, but encourage your daughter to listen to the lyrics. They're fun and bold and surprisingly empowering:
When they don't understand "no," it means no, no, no, no
We don't want no boys 'round here
It's awesome (and relieving) to hear cute, age-appropriate pop music with a female empowerment twist. But we shouldn't be surprised. Sophia Grace hails from the home of the Spice Girls, the original princesses of girl power.
