I always knew Beth Million was more capable than she gave herself credit for. We met in a transition period for both of us, a scary time - I was navigating life as a transfer student, and Beth was on her own in America since moving from Switzerland. I have always been in awe of how Beth could work a room, how everyone marveled at her personality and charm. She would have the room silent after a vocal performance class, or leave me laughing during a Shakespeare scene we did in French in acting class. She was a friend to all, enemy to none. It always seemed as though Beth wasn’t as aware of her affect on people, but she has told me since then that she felt throughout her life that she was often mistaken for naive and her loyalty has been abused. We have both been through emotional trials as a result of our giving too hard and too much to people, but Beth decided to turn that potential energy into kinetic energy in the most elegant, authentic, badass way. She is certainly not seen as naive anymore. Since returning from a semester in London, she is working on her new music and attending Stonestreet Studios, the film and television acting studio. She has found a way to pursue every dream: making sure her dreams are unrealistic, but her level of effort is not. I have seen a serious change in how she views her self-worth and it is infectious, especially when watching her perform live. Her songs may be sick bops on their own through headphones or on a speaker, but Beth and her band give her music a new life because of how confident Beth appears to be, even when she is singing about the hard times. Beth has shown me that it is okay to trust the process and to trust yourself, to feel content with being enough as you are right now. It is okay to accept the person you once were in order to become who you were destined to be. She may still be a loyal, trustworthy, and charming friend and artist, but it is when she began fully accepting her capabilities that she was able to be more true and fair to herself. In turn, she has become a multi-dimensional version of Beth, as friend and artist. It is this Beth, the one who is flying high and not afraid of what the sky will throw at her, that is my favorite, the one I will always look up to.
