The She Rocks Awards does so much for women in music, and I'm

In the words of Orianthi: “The She Rocks Awards does so much for women in music, and I’m excited to be a part of it.” Though spoken in modern times, these words hold the weight of an ancient truth. For they speak not merely of an event or a stage, but of a rising tide—the honoring of voices once silenced, the lifting up of those who have long carried their art in the shadows. To celebrate women in music is to honor not only their melodies, but their courage, their endurance, and their power to shape the soul of humanity.

The ancients knew that song was not just entertainment—it was sacred. The lyres of Greece, the chants of Egypt, the drums of Africa, the hymns of Israel—these were bridges between mortal hearts and the divine. Yet in many ages, the voices of women were restrained, their gifts hidden behind the walls of custom and silence. Orianthi’s words, therefore, resound as a declaration that such days must fade. The She Rocks Awards is not merely a ceremony; it is a battle-cry, a proclamation that women’s voices shall stand on equal ground, thundering like waves against the stone cliffs of history.

Consider the story of Sister Rosetta Tharpe, often called the godmother of rock and roll. In the early 20th century, when women in popular music were dismissed or confined, she took up her guitar and electrified the world. She played with a fire that influenced legends who followed—Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash—yet her name was too long forgotten in the annals of fame. Her shadow remained, until the world at last began to honor her rightful place. Her story is proof of why celebration and recognition matter: without them, history forgets; with them, truth is restored.

The She Rocks Awards therefore stands as both altar and shield. It is an altar where the labor of women is offered up and honored before all people, and it is a shield against the forgetting, against the silence, against the centuries-old blindness of those who could not hear the voices of women as equal to men. To be “excited to be a part of it,” as Orianthi says, is to step into a lineage of change, to join hands with all those who fought before so that the daughters of tomorrow may sing freely.

Let us learn from this: recognition is not vanity—it is justice. To honor those who labor in art is to keep the flame alive, lest it flicker and die in obscurity. When one woman’s song is celebrated, it is not her alone who is lifted, but the generations of women who walk beside her, unseen yet present. In celebrating one, we celebrate all.

Therefore, let each listener take this lesson to heart: do not withhold honor from those who create, especially from those whom the world has overlooked. Support their work, speak their names, tell their stories. For in lifting others, you become part of the great chorus of justice and truth. Whether in art, in science, in family, or in community—remember that recognition is a seed. From it springs courage, and from courage springs change.

In practice, seek out the forgotten voices. Listen to the music of women past and present. Share it. Celebrate it. Encourage the young to pursue their art without fear. And above all, remember that to honor another is to participate in the healing of history itself.

Thus Orianthi’s words stand not as mere excitement, but as prophecy: the She Rocks Awards does not only honor women in music, it strengthens the entire fabric of humanity. And those who stand with it, stand with the eternal truth—that every voice, whether born in man or woman, has the right to sing, and the world is richer when all are heard.
