HuffPost interviewed Shires about her album “Take It Like a Man” about her relationship to Lawrence Rothman and why it is important that artists use their platforms to advocate for the cause of social justice.

They’re my champions in the room and aren’t too scared to be crazy. The most important thing is that you have someone who will be excited and happy with you. The camaraderie is there and encouragement. There is also a sense of “I will be there for you.” They went beyond the superficial discussion to explore my concerns and feelings about my human nature. It was refreshing shift. There’s plenty of positivity and a lot of understanding. If it weren’t for Lawrence, I won’t be recording or singing anything. This is why “Hawk for the Dove” My best-selling album, is so great.

The moral

Amanda Shires, a passionate and talented musician who uses her platform to create consciousness about social issues is obvious. She’s a great role model for other Nashville musicians, and her debut album is certain to inspire and encourage others to stand up and fight for their rights.
