I never enjoyed being called a princess. It always felt like a label for someone fragile, waiting to be saved. But recently, in the Mavi app, Sir called us the Upwork Queens… and that title really clicked with me. A queen isn’t waiting for rescue. She makes decisions, builds strategies, and carries herself with self-respect. She creates opportunities for herself and others. That simple word change gave me a fresh perspective: the way we identify ourselves shapes the way we show up in the world.
When we start seeing ourselves as “queens” not in a fairy-tale sense, but as women of value, discipline, and confidence, we naturally carry more self-esteem and self-esteem is the foundation of freelancing, growth, and leadership.
So here’s my takeaway: don’t wait for crowns to be given, wear your own with pride. ✨
