It's really important to see different types of people who do all these things to see women who are entrepreneurs and men who are dancers, bisexual people who don't have to talk about their sexuality at all, but really succeed whatever field they're in.
Representation is so important because if somebody is out there that feels like they're alone, they're the only person who looks like them, is like them, thinks like them. You know what I mean?

And then I would go to my bartending job or my you know, my waiting job and then come back. And I just did everything I could to stretch myself to be in the place where I wanted to be. I started treating myself as if I was already there. Like if I had to do a bartending gig, I'd do my bartending gig and it's like, oh, hold on, I got to go meet this director.

Right, right. But I do because I'm still hustling, right? I'm still trying to make great art. I'm still trying to make a name for myself, even as it were.
