So I really struggled with like self-worth and self-love and
Well, the first time I booked a role, I was 17.
So I wasn't like a kid kid, but I ended up starting to book commercials where I played a musician.

And I like would pretend to be a musician, but I really wanted to be a real musician.
And I had a brief stint of being in a girl group way even before I was a solo artist.
And I was really exposed to the male gaze and performing for these girls.
men in the music industry.
And I never felt safe to tell people that I was a lesbian because I was worried that I would lose my job or like I wouldn't be supported in the group or stuff like that.
So there was a big fear and disconnect where I really wanted to be myself, but I felt like being myself was going to hinder my ability to be successful.

But I felt very like safe and comfortable with her.
And I felt like she wouldn't judge me for who I was.
