A Girl Named Alexa

There are a lot of young girls helping to make positive changes in our world today, just like Misty Copeland did. Alexa Narvaez is one of those girls.

It all started with a song. My dad and I love to sing together. One time when I was little, my dad shared one of our songs online for my cousins to see. If you can believe it, more than 30 million people have watched that first video. Now I’m thirteen years old with a baby brother and my dad and I are still making videos every week. We have now had more than 210 million views on our songs! Over the years, we’ve been invited to singing places like China, Canada, and Australia. and even on a popular TV show here in the U.S.! It’s fun to sing in front of people, and I love singing with my dad.

When I was younger, I was bullied a lot. Not all of the comments on our videos are good, but seeing the good comments inspires me and gives me good vibes. Singing has helped me to learn to like myself more. If I’m having a bad day, I’ll sing a happy song. It makes me feel good, and strong, and gives me hope. The best part of this experience has been making myself and other people happy through my music. I hope our videos are helping other people believe in themselves and inspiring them to find something that they love to do.
