Her Place of Special Meaning: City Hall and Dilworth Park because I spent a lot of time here with my family and friends. Over the summer I was able to record Youtube videos here with my friend Destiny for my channel. It makes me feel safe and gives me the freedom to express myself and have fun.

On Why Feminism is Personal: I know for a fact that women are still overlooked in this day and time especially Black women. We’re very much overlooked and I really want people to see that we need women. Women are the backbone of a lot of things, whether it is political, whether it is something with everyday life.

I really have to fight harder to prove that I am serious about what I’m saying and I’m gonna make a change.
