You answer as yourself. Nobody on FLAPSS answers as anybody else.
Getting to challenge the status quo by being myself, just existing openly and honestly and boldly on a public level. It hasn’t always been easy, and it came with its fair set of challenges and sacrifices, and I am proud of that.

I feel like it’s always what I’m about to do.
I was very proud of doing Falstaff, because it seemed to go well.
Creating jobs and opportunities for thousands of people.
Raising awareness of ethical and environmental issues in the clothing industry. I think I was the original whistleblower within fashion.
“You’re never going to make it.” It was some guy I was dating. I had the last laugh.
I don’t embarrass easily: I’m kinda shameless.
I would try to work on being able to trust people more easily.
I have very poor time management. I am often running late, I procrastinate a lot.
I’ve learned to accept everything. Part of enjoying life is releasing those disappointments.
Compare and despair. Comparing yourself with someone else or what someone else is doing or what someone else has is a recipe for sadness. What matters is who you are and what you want.
