I am woman: June Carter Cash

The fact that June Carter found the courage to divorce in 1956 speaks volumes to me. Can you imagine what that must’ve been like? This is 2012 and where I come from, divorce is still a taboo! I had heard of June Carter before watching Walk The Line but it was during that first viewing of one of my now all-time favorite movies that it hit me. What a talent, yes …but what a personality! What a character! I fell in love with her strength and the way she stood by her man through gut-wrenching times. Times you hope you never have to encounter. It is safe to say that a lot of Johnny Cash would not be had June not taken on the role of his guardian angel. In my eyes, she was a pioneer, a person who spoke the truth and did what felt right for her and her children. She never lost focus. I admire that in a person very much.
