Wonder Woman

With a fashion collection, rum brand, skincare line, children's book and education-forward foundation, music superstar Ciara proves she can do it all

When Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter Ciara teamed up with acclaimed DC Comics artist Bernard Chang to create Super C, her superhero identity that graces the cover of her album Fantasy Ride, her new persona was seen as a particularly fierce form of creative expression. And while creating a musical alter ego is not uncommonthink Sasha Fierce (Beyoncé), Jo Calderone (Lady Gaga) and, perhaps most iconically, Ziggy Stardust (David Bowie) at no time did Ciara intend for people to view her as an actual superhero.

STILL, IT IS a particularly apt description. Her superpower: an indefatigable energy that enables her to take on the roles of mother, wife, entrepreneur, investor, model, actor, television host, philanthropist, brand ambassador, author and fashion designer. You could say the life Ciara shares with her husband, Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson, features so many irons in so many fires, it’s a veritable forge.
