Rihanna (originally Robyn Rihanna Fenty) was born in Barbados and rose to prominence as a singer, song-writer and performer. She's known worldwide as a symbol of independence, fashion, and business smarts, having started her own beauty line and becoming the first black woman to have a fashion house under the Louis-Vuitton Moet Hennessy (LVMH) brand. She's a National Hero of Barbados - so you can all refer to her as the Right Excellent Rihanna!
“They’re gonna keep knocking away until all this comes crashing down. But I’m not gonna ever crash. I’m in control.”
- Rihanna
Rihanna has always been proudly and fiercely independent, refusing to let anyone say that her success is because of anything except for her own actions. She owns her own decisions and thoughts, and takes responsibility for the things she says, even if people don't like it.
"I stand up for what I believe in, and a lot of the time that can be against people's opinions."
Queen bees and administration champions like Rihanna are people who excel at controlling all the little aspects of their life so that everything just slots right into place. They don't need to rely on anyone else, they're the whole package! She's fiercely organised, which you have to be to run a business and a successful music career and be a fashion icon. We can all get a little inspired by Ri-Ri with some cute diaries, wall-planners, and business plans.
