Happy Funny Freedom to be the Diva you are Friday! Defining the DIVA in you… What does it mean to be a modern day diva? Traditionally, the term "diva" has been associated with women who are perceived as difficult, temperamental, and demanding. This image stems from the early 19th century when leading sopranos were seen as almost goddess-like figures by their adoring public. However, the definition of a modern day diva has evolved. Today, being a modern day diva means possessing self-confidence, self-respect, and undeniable swagger. A modern day diva is someone who is going places and has a plan to get there in high style. "A true diva is graceful, and talented, and strong, and fearless and brave and someone with humility." - Beyoncé Knowles "A true diva is one who is genuine and gracious, and resilient and ready to own her talents, yet remains humble and assists others discover and unleash their talents." - Adrienne M.
