She explained: “I was very naive. I sat on my soapbox and I had something to say, and I felt very passionate about these things. I felt really strong. I felt so strong. so powerful that I even have a speaker on his soapbox, there’s no part of me that imagines a bad reaction.
“I feel really justified in the way I feel about that and where I come from… It’s annoying when you feel like you’re really dissecting people. I didn’t mean to do that, But I have some things to say, and I don’t think I’ll get such a strong response.”

She continued: “It probably took me until my mid to late 30s to really go back and put out all the noise and say, ‘But who are you? Are you a bad person? Are you ungrateful? ?Do you lack professionalism?’ Is it difficult for you?’ Because I was confused! I thought maybe it was. I really believed in that version and was embarrassed for a long time.”
