As a young girl, did you have an idea about the kind of woman you’d like to become?
I was brought up in a community of strong women—my aunts, mother, and grandmothers. They encouraged me to be my own person. From a young age, my mother made sure I learned that women need to make their own money. I was encouraged to make my own decisions. I don’t have a typical career, and I think I owe it to the people who raised me. The, and work in the arts. I managed to find a field where all of that overlaps beautifully.
