Young women grow up in a really negative world today online and in person.

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.

There's a confidence you find when you finally feel right in your body.

Im always practicing lines, researching, trying to be fresh, and fully trying to become the characters I play. Thats how I roll.

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

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.'

It's incredible when women tell me that they've read things that I've said or have been inspired by things that I've done. To hear them say that because of something I did, they felt more positive about themselves and or had more of a voice to stand up for things that were right. It's been empowering for me to be able to help other women feel that way about themselves.
