Episode Highlights
22:15 - [On education] Education is your ticket out of poverty. And for as much as, you know, I've never gone without a meal, thankfully, that saying has always rang true in my head.
31:25 - [On visibility] The visibility piece for me is about the things I know have the capacity to positively impact other people. Those are the pieces that I want to be visible.
38:19 - [On deciding what to share openly] I would say a cautious approach would be advisable, because I can talk about trauma, I can talk about challenges, because I've overcome them. So even if I'm crying or being emotional in that moment, and even if it triggers me in that moment, I've already done the work.
