#1: Rihanna
All hail Queen Rihanna. I mean seriously, though, I would probably kiss the ground Rihanna walked on. I’ve been a huge fan since “Pon de Replay”. My elementary school-self was out there dancing and acting like I was old enough to go out somewhere and tell the DJ to “turn the music up.” If you haven’t heard, Rihanna isn’t just a musician, she’s an entrepreneur. The lady has a lingerie line AND a cosmetics line. As if two brands weren’t enough, Rihanna is also launching a fashion line, Fenty, with LVMH, the biggest luxury group in the world. This makes Rihanna the first woman of color to launch a brand with the company. Rihanna does it all. She makes music, has a lingerie line, has a cosmetics line, is on the way to having a fashion line, and she makes history. No big deal, right?
