Pink Opens Up About Raising Strong Kids, How Her Childhood Shaped The Way She Parents | PeopleTV

Pink, rock star extraordinaire and the literal embodiment of 'girl power’, is the much-anticipated cover story of 2018’s The Beautiful Issue, People’s annual celebration of strong and inspiring celebrity women who are both beautiful on the inside and out. In an honest and often hilarious interview (including a guest appearance by her 6 year-old daughter Willow), Pink discusses what life is like raising two young children and the values she and her husband are working hard to instill in them. Pink also reveals some private moments from her own childhood and how that’s helped shape what kind of parent she’s aspiring to be.

True! 💯💯💯

[@carlalopes3127]

What has always called my attention about her, besides her incredible voice and talent to dance, is that, in her videos, she wasn't always the perfect girl, who is never ridiculous, never falls down. She was different from the other pop artists like Britney and Christina. She makes fun of herself, falls down, is ridiculous sometimes in some of her videos. She is amazing.

Yessss!!!! Thank you People Magazine!!! I was so tired of the glorification of outer fake beauty, nothing wrong with being physically beautiful, I am what you would call a pretty girl, but I value my strength and courage a lot more. As women we work so hard and go through so many things, that are far more valuable than the way we look on the outside. We are warriors. Let’s celebrate that!!! Thank you so much!!!

the more I see on social media and what I've gathered on who alecia moore is as a strong woman and a extraordinary human being, the more I realize it does begin with self, because of a difficult childhood myself I've never truly said the words I'm an okay person, or even given myself the "like" or "love" of who I struggle hard to be, she is a model to all of us that we can do so much good and be anything we want in this confusing, harsh world. . .again alecia, thank you and keep going strong. . .your fan always, Teresa Eden

[@Allison_White]

Love her!!! From the beginning, I’ve been a fan, but she continues to grow & expand & somehow become even more inspiring as the years go by. Authenticity, vulnerability, & confidence are the strongest & sexist qualities anyone can have in my book, and P!nk owns everyone of them! 💥 Keep it up, Lady! You matter & what you are doing is profoundly important. As a woman & a mom... a mom to a beautiful & complicated little girl... 🙏🏽Thank you!!!✨😘💞
