Tina. Aretha. Serena and Venus. In one word you know who these women are. And that word is DIVA. In her new book “American Diva,” Deborah Paredez argues we need to take a fresh look at what it means to be a diva. She traces the evolution of the word, using the stories of powerhouse female performers, musicians and athletes to examine how we can reclaim and celebrate the divas we know and love. Indeed, Paredez says that it’s divas — whether famous or family, like her own Tia Lucia — who embolden us to live out loud. We talk to Paredez and hear from you: Who’s the diva in your life?
