Shakira added, “There comes a point in every woman’s life when she is no longer dependent on someone to love or accept herself as she is.”

“The search for the other is replaced by the search for oneself when the desire to be perfect is replaced by the desire to be authentic,” she said.

Shakira continued, “Women are much stronger than we think.”

“We are braver than we think. I think we are also more independent than we have been taught,” she added.

The La La La singer concluded her speech by talking about how music helped her get through the tough times in her life.

“When I felt most lost, it was music that put me on the path to myself.”

She split from her ex last year in an acrimonious divorce amid rumors that he had cheated on the Grammy winner.

The inaugural Latin Women in Music gala will air on Telemundo on Sunday, May 7.
