I couldn’t wait for this season of , as has been one of my favorite characters from the beginning. Of course, this season was all about the romance between her and Colin. Still, the main attraction for me was her self-trajectory until now, when she recognized herself in the mirror as a beautiful and powerful woman and not as an underdog/outsider as she had been feeling up until now pushed by society’s standards to feel like she didn’t belong.
This scene where she comes out to society as stuck in my head. Starts in a round room, where she is placed in the center, where everyone is looking at her, judging her, in altogether shock. As she starts to unravel her identity, instead of a revelation, it feels like a claiming scene; she is proud of herself and her work and OWNS IT!
It’s captivating as she continues to claim her other identity as Lady Whistledown. She invites society to reflect on themselves as if saying —you are all here looking and judging me when all you have been waiting for every week was to read my words.
I am here.
I am her.
And I stand beside my words.
So, dear gentle reader, if you have been feeling like an outsider today or lately, remember to look yourself in the mirror and find your worth because everybody is worthy.
Claim your power.
Embrace your voice.
Own your place.
