Quotes
- “If you are looking to enter this space, make sure you're having fun. I don't think it's advisable to enter this space if you want to make money.”
- “I want to develop a sense of self, values, morals, and then attract an audience based off those things, as opposed to doing it almost the opposite way, where I see what the audiences are responding positively to and then pander to that.”
- “I didn't wanna talk about my diagnosis for a little while because, I think anytime you're diagnosed with something, there's a bit of shame or feeling like, 'Oh, is something wrong with me?' or, 'Are people gonna judge me?' But at this point, people need to know. So many more people have PCOS than they even know.”
