Olivia Rodrigo Was Built 4 This

I think women are praised for always being nice and kind and helpful. And that's something that I've had to sort of outgrow as I grew up as a young woman in the world—that notion of being sweet is the end-all. That sort of mindset got me into a lot of situations where I just didn't stick up for myself. I didn't advocate for myself or treat myself well. There's a lot more adjectives to me than sweet.

Kali Uchis Refuses to 'Fit Into One Box'

I think it’s a lot harder for people to figure out how to sell me as a product. I’m not going to compromise who I am or what I’m doing or show only just this one tiny piece of myself.

Beabadoobee Rocks Out

I didn’t have a Filipino girl to look up to. I just wanna act like that sort of role model for those girls. I always wish I’d had a girl that was rocking out on-stage who was Asian and badass.

Ariana Grandes' Truth

I am tired of living in a world where women are mostly referred to as a man’s past, present, or future property. I do not belong to anyone but myself and neither do you.
