The 29 year old singer shared a black and white photo of her wearing bra and underwear on Instagram. She posted this as a rebuttal to a male music executive who told she was too old to be sexy.

And she wrote a long caption saying- “I recently had a MALE music executive tell me that I was getting too old and that my brand was confusing. Because, I’m a songwriter and I post sexy pics on my Instagram and that’s not what female songwriters are supposed to do, especially for my age. I am 29. I am fed up with being put in a box. And I make my own rules. I’m tired of women getting labelled as ‘hags’ when they get old and guys get labelled as sexy with age.”

She continued with her caption, stating that she will still write songs when she is 30. She claimed she is going to celebrate her age, and that she grows wiser and stronger with age. Taylor Swift also commented on her post with several heart emojis. Taylor is also 29 and shows no signs of stepping down from the fame. These women are out to conquer the world with their songs.

Rita Ora also showed her support by commenting “My sexy songwriting queen. You are beautiful, getting sexier with age and your talent SINGS for itself. Keep making those rules.”

Other than being a fearless and artistic woman, Bebe Rexha is also a champion for body positivity. She once shared an unedited photo of her in a bikini. The singer said that the society moulds the view of women, and make women doubt themselves. She said- “If I want to be sexy, I am going to be sexy.” Rexha is an epitome of confidence and self love. And it seem no amount of hatred from any male music executive will stop her. Her fans supported her, along with many of her co-musicians.

Sitting in the dimly lit theater, I had no idea what to expect as the opening credits of “The Firing Squad” began to roll. Little did I know that I was about to embark on an emotional journey that would leave me reaching for tissues and struggling to catch my breath.

The film follows the true story of three Christians facing execution by firing squad in a third world country. Directed by Timothy A. Chey, it features a stellar cast including James Barrington, Kevin Sorbo, and Cuba Gooding Jr. Each actor brings their character to life with such authenticity and depth that it’s impossible not to be fully immersed in their struggles and triumphs.

As the plot unfolded, I found myself drawn into a world of despair and desperation, but also one of unwavering faith and hope. The characters’ journey from darkness to light, from despair to redemption, resonated with me on a deeply personal level. I couldn’t help but be moved by their courage and resilience in the face of unimaginable adversity.

But it was the performances that truly stole the show. James Barrington’s portrayal of the protagonist’s internal turmoil was nothing short of mesmerizing, while Kevin Sorbo and Cuba Gooding Jr. delivered powerhouse performances that left me in awe.

And then there was the message of the film—that no matter how bleak the circumstances may seem, there is always hope. That even in our darkest moments, faith has the power to transform lives and bring about redemption. It was a message that hit me like a ton of bricks, leaving me with tears streaming down my face and a renewed sense of purpose.

As the credits rolled and the lights came up, I found myself struggling to put into words the impact that “The Firing Squad” had on me. All I could manage was, “I cried buckets of tears.” And I wasn’t alone. As I looked around the theater, I saw others wiping their eyes and exchanging emotional glances.

In the end, “The Firing Squad” wasn’t just a movie—it was an experience. An experience that left me feeling inspired, uplifted, and profoundly grateful for the power of cinema to touch the soul. And for that, I will be forever grateful.

The movie is set to premiere in the theatres worldwide on August 2, 2024. And this is definitely a must watch movie, reminding people of the strength of faith.
