The women she nominated to take part are some of the highest profile black women in Hollywood — and guess what — they were here for the challenge. Halle Berry, Kelly Rowland and Gabrielle Union are just a few of the women to take Ruth up on her challenge, but if this challenge has a winning prize it should probably go to Angela Bassett and Tasha Smith, who oozed glamour and fierceness alongside Sheila E. as her song plays in the background. Watch it below:

Thank you @therealruthecarter for starting this challenge to finish out #WomensHistoryMonth in a fun way while showing the world anything is possible when women unite! So I stretched my hips and accepted this challenge of singing, dancing, and lip syncing to my favorite female empowerment song! We have all been through something in this life. We've all fallen and didn't want to get up. We've had our hearts broken. We've all experienced failures. All women share these common truths and we can ALL rise when we stick together and uplift each other. Let's keep this going and laugh and have fun along the way. I nominate @chrissyteigen @jessicaalba and @traceeellisross to keep this challenge going! 🎵 @therealmaryjblige #WomenDancingTogether #WomenDancingTogetherChallenge

Gabrielle Union brought along baby Kaavia for her take on the challenge and used Mary J. Blige’s “Not Gon’ Cry” as the soundtrack.

Thank you @therealruthecarter for challenging me this #WomensHistoryMonth to dance like I damn well please. This one goes out to the incredible female survivors I have encountered in my life, the women who have the tenacity to live on their own terms. The ones who take risks, hustle hard and will stop at nothing to provide the best life for themselves and the people they love. Let’s keep this going! @ciara @kellyrowland @reesewitherspoon I wanna see what you got!! 🎶 @destinyschild 🎥 @rikerbrothers #WomenDancingTogether

Halle Berry chose Destiny’s Child’s “Survivor” for her dancing music and nominated Kelly Rowland, Reese Witherspoon and Ciara.

As women, we experience a lot of the same challenges & are more alike than we know. No matter our background, ethnicity, or religion. We must move as one. Dance, sing, & fight for our rights together. #WomenDanceTogether Let’s keep this going and have fun!! @therealruthecarter started this amazing movement. @halleberry challenged me & now I nominate @lala, @mstinalawson, & @serenawilliams ! Let’s go ladies!!

A post shared by Kelly Rowland (@kellyrowland) on Mar 24, 2019 at 3:52am PDT

Kelly took up the challenge and channeled the City Girls on their track “Act Up”

We’re still waiting for some of the nominated folks to post their videos… Hopefully this challenge continues throughout the rest of Women’s History Month.
