My mother wanted to name me Jackie or Jacqueline but she got to name my sister and my brother, so my dad and my brother insisted on naming me. And they were big fans of 'The Little Mermaid.'

No matter what you look like or think you look like, you're special and loved and perfect just the way you are.

I had body insecurities when I was younger. I still do.

I want to continue to speak out on issues that matter to me. I want to have even more of a voice.

I love when I get stories of young women that have overcome things such as birth defects that they've been hated on for or even just their own body confidence stories.

Female empowerment really is important to me. I'm a big nerd of the books from the 15th Century and 16th Century, when the men had all the power and the women had none of it.

I'm pretty smart with boys. I know how to handle them and I know what to do around them.
