"My book Crazy Is My Superpower is essentially about female empowerment. I wrote my book because as a little kid I promised myself I would. Anytime there was some sort of hardship in my life I sort of just told myself it was happening so that I could pass the lesson along one day. And as I got older I noticed that it kinda became essential that someone started speaking out on these topics I didn’t think I’d be brave enough to speak out on my own.”
