Quotes:
(17:30-17:48) “You have your truth, your voice, and you have your understanding of the situation. And sometimes, being silent is actually worse. If you feel like, ‘Well, maybe my ideas aren’t important,’ it can make the situation worse.”
(19:24-19:39) “Even Cinderella asked for a dress and a ride to go to the ball. So, even she, hardworking, asked for something, to have an opportunity. If we want something, we should ask for that.”
