All around the world, Netta Barzilai is an inspiration.

Every day, the 26-year-old Eurovision winner makes it perfectly clear that she’s not afraid to go against the expectations of society. From her unconventional appearance to her VERY unconventional songs. From clucking like a chicken to modeling swimsuits. Netta shows the world that she does what she wants, and pays little attention to what others think of her.

And young girls are taking notes.

Netta serves as a role model to girls everywhere who are not comfortable in their own skin. She’s teaching members of the next generation to be proud of who they are and to do what they love, without worrying what others think. These self-confident young Netta Barzilai fans are proud to share details of how Netta has changed their lives.
