Ani DiFranco is many things. So many, in fact, that it's sometimes difficult to get a handle on them all. Best known as an artist, entrepreneur, parent, and activist for a variety of feminist and political causes, she's even befuddled her fans at times, particularly when it comes to matters of sexuality. Still, that hasn't stopped her from creating one of the great musical legacies of the past couple of decades, both as a performer and savvy businesswoman at the helm of her own indie label, the appropriately named Righteous Babe. In the process, she's set a new standard in terms of empowerment and encouragement for those who sometimes feel like they're on the fringes of society.
Here's Ani blowing out candles and singing "Two Little Girls":
