Female Force: Shakira [EPUB ebook] 

Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll, born February 2, 1977, in Barranquilla, Colombia, showed early signs of the charisma that would later define her career. Raised in a multicultural household with a Lebanese father and Colombian mother, Shakira grew up immersed in diverse influences that would shape her unique musical style. Discovered when she was 13, her rise to worldwide fame wasn’t easy, but Shakira’s ability to reinvent herself has allowed her to maintain a prominent position in the music world. She symbolizes resilience, cultural fusion, and enduring musical talent, earning her our designation as a ‘Female Force.’
