I'm not trying to prove anything.

As a woman, I feel women get the shaft all the time.

I do think you have to scare yourself. That's where your creativity or your growth comes from. Scaring yourself, challenging yourself, taking those risks, and not caring about what anyone thinks.

The Greek side of me definitely loves a good meal, a lot of laughing, loud discussions.

My mother is Greek and my father is Bulgarian. I am a first-generation American and native Los Angeleno. I was born and raised in Hollywood.

Awareness is empowering.

I would go to school and be American and then come home and be Greek.
