Too often, women are held to a different standard than men. There are certain ways a woman must act in situations that a man would never even think twice about. We spend time second guessing a single word uttered in the heat of a conversation that might come off as too confrontational. We brew and internalize every single thought plaguing our mind and never speak up about it. Sofia Carson is changing that narrative.
Carson is a triple threat. Actress. Activist. Musician. Words that describe Carson but can’t fully encapsulate the immense talent that this woman holds. Known for her previous roles in the Descendants movies, Feel The Beat, A Cinderella Story: If the Shoe Fits, Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists, and much more, Carson’s future is taking a new road paved with the message of her empowering new single, “LOUD.”
Emanating with the power of Carson’s vocals and passion behind the message, “LOUD” is the story of a woman once silenced breaking away from the mold she was forced into her whole life. A uniting force bringing together women from all walks of life – from the silenced to the “LOUD” – Carson is teaching women everywhere how to be unapologetically empowered in a man’s world.
“There’s something so magical about how your deepest, darkest most heartbreaking thoughts can feel safe in a song. How on a stage, beneath the spotlight, lives the courage to share those thoughts with the world.” – Sofia Carson
Carson is no stranger to standing up for what she believes in. She’s currently the first female global ambassador for the Latin GRAMMY Cultural Foundation and is offering the Sofia Carson Prodigy Scholarship – a $200,000 scholarship for a young Latin musician to attend Berklee College of Music. Not only is she providing a platform for a young musician, but Carson celebrates her own heritage through her music. Whether she is creating Spanish versions of Descendants songs or infusing a Latin sound into her own songs, Carson is constantly celebrating her Latin roots.
“There is space for all music, there is space for all voices, there is space for all cultures…” – Sofia Carson
With only 24 hours in a day, one would think Carson is already booked to the max, but she was just named UNICEF’s newest US Ambassador. Fighting for children around the world, Carson makes it her goal to uplift everyone she encounters no matter their background.
With the grace of a classic Hollywood actress and the spirit of a woman in the 21st century, Sofia Carson is a true force to be reckoned with. Through unmatched talent and a heart of gold, Carson is proving that the future is in fact female.
