“Growing up in a very small country town in South Georgia, about 45 minutes from the Florida line, watching my mom, my sisters, my family, you know, it’s the country. It’s a closed mindedness that people don’t realize they have. And with that comes some old stigmas, right? Women should be here. They should stay in this box. Men should do this and they should stay in this box. And I guess I never really understood how I felt about it until I got older. And unfair doesn’t really seem like the best word. But not having the same opportunities as just my male counterparts when maybe I know as much, maybe I know more, maybe I have some type of skill set that’s needed that is not even seen because I am a female.”
