DEARBORN, Mich., Feb. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Now more than ever, women are flexing their muscle as we work to navigate through challenging times. From essential workers to teachers, nurses, rising political leaders and poets, women are demonstrating the kind of strength it takes to keep pushing forward – both in the workplace and at home. Ford is paying tribute to all of the formidable women leading the way with the launch of the Mustang Mach-E #ShowSomeMuscle social media challenge. #ShowSomeMuscle encourages everyday heroes to share their personal stories of perseverance, ingenuity, compassion, creativity and more.

American ballet dancer Misty Copeland, professional basketball player Gabby Williams, award-winning TV personality Lilliana Vazquez, and Ayana Lage, an advocate for social justice, helped kick off the challenge earlier this week. These talented, accomplished women are sharing their personal stories of unique strength and triumph, and nominating the inspirational women in their own lives to also #ShowSomeMuscle.

«After 20 years of performing, the loss of live shows and the purpose that gave me has taken its toll,» said Copeland. «But I have been inspired by and have witnessed real courage and resilience, and seen strength in vulnerability as we remain hopeful of an end to the pandemic. That’s why I’m honored to be among the first voices to share my story in the Mustang Mach-E #ShowSomeMuscle challenge and to celebrate the women who continue to inspire me.»

Through #ShowSomeMuscle, Ford is providing a platform – and an iconic symbol – to spotlight all of the inspirational women who are redefining what real muscle looks like.

«With Mustang Mach-E, Ford is redefining the conventional idea of a muscle car,» said Emma Bergg, Ford global electric vehicle communications manager. «Through this challenge, we’re highlighting that muscle is not only physical form and brute strength – it encompasses innovation, empathy, creativity, compassion and resilience.»

To illustrate the spirit of the challenge, Ford is working with Detroit-bred fine artist and muralist Sydney James to create custom artwork for a limited-edition #ShowSomeMuscle T-shirt.

«My body of work is about strong women,» said James. «My inspiration for the Madonna of Muscle art featured on this shirt is a leader, entrepreneur and hustler in the Detroit community – one whose image exudes so much more than physical strength.»

Highlights of the accomplishments of these talented heroes sharing their stories include:

Misty Copeland: With 20 years of professional ballet under her belt, Copeland made history by becoming the first African American woman to be a principal dancer at one of the nation’s most prestigious dance companies. She is the author of three bestselling books, Life in Motion Ballerina Body, and Bunheads.

Gabby Williams: Professional basketball player, Williams brings dominating athleticism and dynamic skill to the court. With a flair for music and fashion and a mind for activism, Williams is a power forward, was the No. 4 draft pick, and plays in Hungary.

Lilliana Vazquez: Award-winning TV personality Vazquez brings a larger-than-life presence to everything she does. She is a proud member of the Latinx community and embraces her responsibility as a role model for others who aspire to work in fashion and television.

Ayana Lage: Tampa-based blog curator Lage has made a name for herself as an outspoken advocate for social justice. As a new mother, she has been open with her followers about postpartum mental health.

DEARBORN, Michigan, 4 de febrero de 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Ahora más que nunca, las mujeres están mostrando su fortaleza durante estos momentos difíciles. Desde trabajadoras esenciales hasta maestras, enfermeras, líderes políticas prometedoras y poetisas, las mujeres demuestran la clase de fortaleza que se necesita para seguir avanzando, tanto en el trabajo como en el hogar. Con el lanzamiento del desafío #ShowSomeMuscle de Mustang Mach-E en redes sociales, Ford rinde homenaje a todas las mujeres extraordinarias que lideran el camino hacia el futuro. #ShowSomeMuscle invita a las heroínas cotidianas a compartir sus historias personales de perseverancia, ingenio, compasión, creatividad y más.

A principios de esta semana, Misty Copeland, bailarina del ballet estadounidense, Gabby Williams, jugadora profesional de baloncesto, Lilliana Vázquez, presentadora de TV galardonada y Ayana Lage, defensora de la justicia social, ayudaron a iniciar el desafío. Estas mujeres talentosas y exitosas comparten sus historias personales de fortaleza y triunfo, y nominan a mujeres que fueron una inspiración en sus vidas para que también participen en #ShowSomeMuscle.

«Después de 20 años de danza, la falta de espectáculos en vivo y de su propósito me han pasado factura», expresó Copeland. «Pero me he inspirado y he sido testigo de la valentía y la resiliencia verdaderas, y he visto la fuerza en la vulnerabilidad mientras mantenemos la esperanza de terminar con esta pandemia. Por ese motivo, me siento honrada de ser una de las primeras voces en compartir mi historia en el desafío #ShowSomeMuscle de Mustang Mach-E y celebrar a las mujeres que siguen inspirándome».

A través de #ShowSomeMuscle, Ford ofrece una plataforma, y un símbolo icónico, para destacar a todas las mujeres inspiradoras que redefinen lo que es la verdadera fortaleza.

«Con el Mustang Mach-E, Ford redefine la idea convencional de un muscle car», dijo Emma Bergg, gerenta de Comunicaciones Globales de Vehículos Eléctricos de Ford. «A través de este desafío, destacamos que la fuerza no solo se refiere a la forma física o a la fuerza bruta, sino que también abarca la innovación, la empatía, la creatividad, la compasión y la resiliencia».

Para ilustrar el espíritu del desafío, Ford está trabajando con Sydney James, muralista y artista criada en Detroit, a fin de crear un diseño personalizado para una camiseta de #ShowSomeMuscle de edición limitada.

«Mi obra se enfoca en mujeres fuertes», afirmó James. «Mi inspiración para la Madonna of Muscle que aparece en esta camiseta es una líder, empresaria y trabajadora de la comunidad de Detroit, cuya imagen representa mucho más que fuerza física».

Entre los logros más destacados de estas talentosas heroínas que comparten sus historias se encuentran:

Misty Copeland: Con 20 años de carrera en ballet profesional, Copeland hizo historia al convertirse en la primera mujer afroamericana en ser bailarina principal de una de las compañías de danza más prestigiosas del país. Además, es autora de tres libros muy vendidos: Life in Motion Ballerina Body y Bunheads.

Gabby Williams: Jugadora profesional de baloncesto, Williams es una atleta que aporta habilidad dinámica y dominio a la cancha. Con un don para la música, la moda y una mente para el activismo, Williams juega en la posición delantera con el número 4 en Hungría.

Lilliana Vázquez: Presentadora de TV galardonada, Vázquez brinda una presencia exuberante a todo lo que hace. Es una orgullosa miembro de la comunidad latina y acepta su responsabilidad como ejemplo a seguir para aquellas personas que desean trabajar en el mundo de la moda y la televisión.

Ayana Lage: Curadora de un blog, Lage vive en Tampa y es reconocida por ser una honesta defensora de la justicia social. Como madre primeriza, ha logrado ser honesta con sus seguidores a la hora de hablar sobre la salud mental posparto.
