SHAKIRA

My nomination for the inspiration award is SHAKIRA, she is a Colombian

singer, arranger, songwriter, record producer, dancer, actress and
philanthropist. She is a strong woman with a huge music career; she was
born in Barranquilla on 2 February 1977, she have been singing, dancing
and playing instruments since she was a little kind and she do these
things great. She debut her first album with just 13 years old, she has
won around 263 awards, for example, she has won 3 Grammy awards
and 12 Latin Grammy awards, and she have been on the top charts of
music frequently and for a long time. She is exceptionally talented,
dedicated, talented and clever. She has inspired a lot of people to follow
their dreams because she is a prominent figure not just for Latin music,
for worldwide music as well, but, the most amazing reason about her it’s
her big heart, In 1997, Shakira founded the Pies Descalzos Foundation, a
Colombian charity with special schools for poor children all around
Colombia and in 006, Shakira was honored at a UN ceremony for this
achievement. Shakira is also a  UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador and is one
of their global representatives. She has been involved in a lot of charity
projects and causes for a long time and she has supported a lot of
foundations that’s why I think she deserve to win.
