“Bi-sexual people have to deal with the misconceptions that their identity is just a phase, and that they’ll eventually decide whether they are gay or straight. PSA: They’re neither, and no one should ever feel pressured to fit their sexuality into a binary if it’s not their truth. There are many, many ways to be bisexual. Each individual gets to say how they identify, and nobody’s sexual orientation is up for debate.”  Teen Vogue Magazine

“It can be really challenging in today’s world for anyone- especially girls and women-to feel good about their bodies. No matter how things look from the outside, we can all be super critical of ourselves… My job at those moments is to tell myself the truth. Am I taking care of myself in a healthy way? Am I respecting myself and being responsible? And over and over, I answer yes to that question. I remind myself to be kind to myself, and as slightly ridiculous as it may sound, to treat myself in the same gentle way I’d want to treat a daughter, it really helps.”  Seventeen Magazine

“If you think about it, all of us minorities combined, we are the majority. We’re not the minority. And if we start looking at things that way, the things are going to start changing. It’s not about exclusion; it’s about explaining what’s been going on in history for years, and how we’ve been failing each other by not being open with these conversations and demanding representation.”  Teen Vogue Magazine

“I got bullied in high school big time. I had just come back from London and was the new kid. People looked at me like, she thinks she’s all that. And because I didn’t know how to talk to them, maybe I did come across that way? I don’t know. I got asked to prom by a guy, and he ended up ditching me that day because the girls told him to do it. They made up rumors when I was on a choir trip that I did naughty things. And then I got invited to a party when I was 15, and my dad took me there because I couldn’t drive –but it was an abandoned house. I was like maybe they’re in the back, and my dad was like I don’t think they are sweetheart.” Red Book Magazine
