My writer and I sat down and wrote a huge list of names of women to consider. It was really important to us to have a broad range of women from across generations and cultures. We didn't want to make it Western-focused, we wanted to make sure it was international and that it had an intersectional lens.

I came back to this idea of telling the stories of women who aren't in all of the history books. Their names are not up there next to male names that we've know since we were little kids. Ching Shih, for example, was a pirate commander from the late 1800s to the early 1900s. She was one of the most fearsome pirates, why is her name not included when we list the names of great pirates like Blackbeard?

The struggles of dealing with online harassment is the same harassment that women have been dealing with, it's just a new medium in which it's happening.

It is both possible (and even necessary) to simultaneously enjoy media while also being critical of its more problematic or pernicious aspects.

I got to focus on my performance - learning how to perform is something I've been working on both personally and professionally.

I really want to help write women back into history.

There’s no such thing as sexism against men. That's because sexism is prejudice + power. Men are the dominant gender with power in society.
