I don't let the past hold me back. I let it propel me forward.
I truly believe that women should be financially independent from their men. And let's face it, money gives men the power to run the show. It gives men the power to define value. They define what's sexy. And men define what's feminine. It's ridiculous.
My attitude is that if you push me towards something that you think is a weakness, then I will turn that perceived weakness into a strength.
