By showing that you don't have to lose yourself, maybe someone else will feel some sort of comfort.
Lea MicheleI have been involved with 'Spring Awakening' for six years. I am 20 now - I just turned 20 in August - and I originally auditioned when I was 14 years old. I auditioned for Michael Mayer, Duncan Sheik and Steven Sater.
Lea MicheleWe live in a world of self-deprecation, and while itโs healthy to make fun of ourselves from time to time, it bothers me when I see women of all ages belittling their accomplishments because they donโt want to appear boastful or overconfident. You donโt see a lot of guys out there underplaying their strengths or making light of what theyโre good at, so why should women? While I get that thereโs a fine line between owning your accomplishments and reciting every line of your rรฉsumรฉ, there is absolutely no shame in being proud of what youโve managed to achieve! Own it!
