I was 11 years old, about 11 years old,
and I had seen a commercial on TV.
For a dishwashing liquid. And the boys in my class
at the time said,
you know, it said women all over America are fighting
greasy pots and pans.
And the boy said, yeah,
that's where women belong in the kitchen.
And at 11, I just found that infuriating and wrote
lots of letters and put pen to paper and they
ended up changing the commercial to people all over America.
And you know, that's it's,
it's funny to look back at it now because that
was before social media where you had a reach that
was so much greater.
It was just an 11 year old with a pen
and paper.
But it just, I guess,
goes to show that if you know that there's something
wrong and you're using your voice to advocate in the
direction of what is right,
that can really land and resonate and make huge change
for a lot of people.
So your voice is not small,
it just needs to be heard.
