“If you look back at what I believe and what I stand for, I am certainly a proud …” — Tracee Ellis Ross

There are things about my body that I don't love, but I'm not trying to look perfect every day - I'm trying to look like me!

So about this Fierce and Fearless award, honestly, I am often afraid. I was terrified when I lost my voice. But I've come to understand and listen to the fear. I walk towards it. I lean into it to find the information and things that it has to teach me - unless it says run, and then I run.

I listen to my body. Some days all I want is a good steak and others, I crave veggies and quinoa.

I used to think 40 was old. Now I think, 'Hey, 40's hot!'
