That will never change my desire to motivate women to write. Our voices have to be heard. I hope I inspire up & coming females to do that.

It's the same reason I have a different level of respect for Missy. I know she's a writer and a producer. Women MUST aspire for more.

I believe we're smart enough to write down our own thoughts and perspective, just like the men do. I've been saying this for 5 YEARS
