DOLLY PARTON: Changing the World by Changing Minds about Music and Life


 by Cyrus Webb

I think it's safe to say that in 2024 Dolly Parton has been everywhere. From new music to new business partnerships, she has continued to show us that when you love what you do there are no limits. That is a message that is not accepted by all, but anyone who has followed Dolly Parton's career knows that she is not one to color safely inside the lines. She loves to stir things up.

Whether you know Ms. Parton from acting, singing or her business dealings, you are well aware that everything comes from her heart---and she doesn't care too much what you have to say about it. At a time where so many people want you to just fall in line, she goes where she feels led, and that has empowered others as well. 

I haven't had the chance to interview Ms. Parton (yet), but I have to say one thing I am looking forward to discussing with her is not the why but the HOW. She has been a part of the music landscape for DECADES, and still manages to surprise us with new collaborations. That takes a lot of courage as well as believe in oneself. That is also a great reminder for us all.

No matter what others say or do, Ms. Parton is proof that you have to dance to the beat of your own drum, trusting that those who are supposed to join you on the dance floor will find their way to you eventually.
