As a woman, I have faced issues that men do not have to face – sexism included. I think that all women have, and that is totally unacceptable.
Olay does a great tinted moisturiser that I add a little turmeric to – making it more yellow depending on my skin tone and the season. That’s a great trick for all women who find that foundations are too ashy or too pink for their skins. And it’s anti-inflammatory. It’s my secret weapon.
Like all women, I’ve had a pretty awful time in many ways, but it’s always possible to either make a joke or find someone else.
I didn’t have a father growing up, and I was raised with all women, and I didn’t really understand men. I thought they were like women, right?
I grew up with all mothers, all women. I come from a long line of matriarchs, very strong women.
It’s not good enough to believe women matter if they only matter in the U.K. They have to matter everywhere. As long as there’s an idea that women don’t matter in the world, then all women are diminished.
When I was a kid, to me, all women that I think were beautiful always tend to be ethnic of some sort. To be honest I think it’s the eyebrows – the powerful, strong eyebrows.
There were musicians that influenced me, but they weren’t all women. Teena Marie was a big influence because she wrote and produced her own music, which let me know that women could write and produce their own music, which was an empowering moment for me.
We have to be intentional with including trans women, all women, all marginalized people. Whether we say ‘Me Too’ or call ourselves feminists or strive to create a diverse workplace that reflects the world we live in, it’s all about being intentional.
