@epiphany.v.devon: In 1978, Barbara Walters asked Dolly Parton how she felt about being called a “hillbilly.” Dolly didn’t flinch. She embraced it. She spoke proudly of her people, reminding the world that lacking formal education never meant lacking intelligence, dignity, or “country class.” And Dolly didn’t stop at “hillbilly.” Even labels like “white trash” couldn’t make her ashamed of where she came from. She knew poverty was part of her story, but it wasn’t the definition of her. She turned humble beginnings into a foundation, not a limitation. Sometimes the very place people try to make you ashamed of becomes the place you find your strength. #DollyParton #CountryMusic #PovertyToPower #KnowYourRoots #History
