View profile →I already had a career when I was growing up.
I am really loving the badass co-captain of the US soccer team, Megan Rapinoe. She is exceptionally hard-working and talented, and stands up for what she believes.
I don’t have a favourite song, but I will definitely give it some thought, so no one’s arguing about it when I die.
