Drake described “Power of a Woman” as “one of my favorite songs that I’ve released,” and Alex shared that they came up with the idea for the campaign while out for breakfast one day. “I just noticed all the hardworking women in the restaurant and the women who were coming in and sitting down to eat,” she recalled. “I thought it would be such a cool idea to know their stories and to know the story behind these powerful women who show up to work every day with a smile on their face and serve others all day long and just show up.”
To enter, fans can share their own stories or those of their loved ones, as well as photos. Drake and Alex suggested that entrants hold up handwritten signs declaring that they are powerful women.

Stories submitted so far have honored a young girl who is a Stage IV cancer survivor, a wife who flies helicopters for the US Air Force, a woman who picked up everything to care for her elderly mother after she suffered a stroke, as well as a mom who served in the US Navy as a WAVE and raised five children while her husband served on submarines. These are just a few of the incredible women being spotlighted by their friends and family, more of whom will be highlighted in a music video set to be released later this month.
The Power of a Woman Campaign is still collecting entries, and fans can submit their stories at DrakeWhite.com.
