"It's been a year where I've realized we women are stronger than we think, braver than we believed, more independent than we were taught to be," Shakira said during her Latin Women in Music gala speech. "Because what woman hasn't at some time in her life forgotten herself because she's seeking the attention and love of someone else? It happened to me more than once."
