I think that women are too good at being good, being obedient, and we need to normalize being good at being bad. And I think, because I did learn how to code as a kid, there's some corrupt code in the program and we need to know how to pull it out and rewrite it. I always tell women, “Use media as a tool or be used as a tool of the media.” So we need to put out our stories and our voices, we need to take up space and be loud. We can't stop.
