And people were just like, it's a man's job.
Why are you doing it?
You know?
And I was like,
You don't need to have a gender to care for something.
I basically care for the ocean.
And that's what my job is, you know, or, you know, people constantly telling me I'm not good enough because of what I'm wearing versus what I'm achieving or not being good enough.
So, okay, I'll give you this example because it's something that really sticks with me.
You know, when I work on the boats, I wear skinnies and shorts, right?
Like, and no shoes.
That's how I work.
And someone had taken one of the pictures of me, someone local, and put it on local Facebook, like local language Facebook, and basically been like, what kind of a woman dresses like this?
And, you know, I didn't see it.
I've also grown very thick skin because I have dealt with enough of people trying to tear me down.
And I'm not really interested in expending energy in that direction.
But the reason I saw this is because a young female, a young girl, a scientist said,
who, you know, is, for want of a better word, a fan of mine, I would say, who has been inspired by my work.
She sent it to me and she said, you know, Dr. Asha, I need you to see this, but don't be upset.
Just read the comments, you know?
And I was like, okay, strange comment, but okay.
