• It’s so interesting how fiction can teach you about your own reality. It’s so clear to me in that show how they pit women against each other

• I have a voice. People are looking at you, and you have to choose what you’re going to use that for. It’s kind of not an option to not use it,

• These men [on The Handmaid’s Tale] have given women a false sense of superiority over each other and have put a divide between these women so they don’t even understand the power they have by supporting one another.

• I’m just super clear about what I want to do with my voice, and because I have more courage and conviction around it.

• However, I also care about equal pay and body positivity for the sake of future generations of women. I want them to be able to live in a nation that supports them, their lifestyle, and anything I can do now to help raise awareness of the gender wage gap, and body positivity can help pave the way towards a more positive future for all women.
