Inspirational Quotes
From Our Interviews
"Music has always been able to deal with very tough issues without having to use your voice to do it, so it makes it something that's easily translatable and something that's not as abrasive to people when they're trying to receive a message."
"My purpose is to empower the future generations of women who want to work in sports, and who are interested in jobs like that. And so, if that’s my purpose, then I have to do it. I don’t have a choice. It’s no longer a choice of mine; it’s my job."
