Growing up in the Northwest, I did play in an all-girl band. I snuck into clubs. No one ever questioned or thought twice about it.

Stop thinking you have to go to big industry to have a big life, because it's not the truth.

Whatever it is that you love to do, be it collect comic books or play the guitar, that you can make a living at it, do it.

My mentoring program is pretty specific, it's about self-empowerment, about being able to find solutions through teamwork. That's one of my first goals.

My favorite movie is The Wizard of Oz. I love the fairy tale of it. And Gone With the Wind was always one of my favorites because it's so dramatic and stunning.

Everything I read about me is what I say. The way I've come across is exactly who I am. So far, they haven't skewed it to be one way or another too much.

Find your authentic voice, become vulnerable, and then put yourself out there.
