Growing up as a mixed-race kid in the wrong part of town, she always had a sense of "not belonging." Labeled as a "freak" for her unusual tastes in clothes, music, friends, she erred towards nonconformity from an early age, always preferring to go against the grain, rather than to follow the cliquish crowd. Once reserved with a sense of isolation, she now finds herself giving voice and perspective to other "black sheep" who may have been afraid to come out of the shadows and embrace their uniqueness. She uses her matter-of-fact tone to break people down, lift people up, and call people out when necessary. "Evoking responsible personal liberation and raising social consciousness are at the heart of everything I say and do. The world is a freak show, and we just have to learn to love our own weirdness, whatever that may be, without squashing that in others, while working towards being the best version of ourselves.vizualizați mai puține
