making a difference by inspiring young women all over the world,
winning hearts by working for women empowerment. She was also praised
for standing strong in the legal battle against a radio DJ from the
U.S whom she had accused of sexually assaulting her. On emerging
victorious from her war in the courtroom, Taylor was appreciated for
her steadfastness.
