Netflix Marks Dolly Parton’s Birthday With The Most Dolly Parton-y Video Ever
“Happy Birthday Dolly Parton — a true icon who has spent her life inspiring generations with her music and her actions. So the next time you’re feeling low, ask yourself: What Would Dolly Do?” Netflix wrote on Twitter.
The tweet captioned a video of the Tennesseean sharing empowering messages with her fans.
“You are enough and anyone who tells you otherwise isn’t worth your time,” Dolly says to the camera.
The clip is a pure pep talk by Dolly herself, in case you need a little pick-me-up today.
“Other people didn’t always believe in me, and in those time I had to believe in myself,” Parton adds.
“Plus, nothing’s better than proving people wrong,” the singer also says.
