I know, I resented myself and not having the courage to fulfill my potential because I was afraid

of what other people would think about me. And as soon as that became a realization, I had to be

accountable to becoming her, right? Wow. Because I was like, oh shit. Well, now I can see,

I just need to be courageous. I'm never going to be, I watched your TikTok the other day.

When you reached out to message me.

You said something like, um, oh, being ready isn't a feeling it's a decision. Was it that one?

Exactly. Okay. Yeah.

There are just some people in this world that light up every single room that they walk in.

And Florence Given is one of those people.

As soon as I found her online, like about a year ago, and I saw her beautiful pink hair, I was like, wait, I think I'm in love.

And also inspired and also like, will you I think I'm in love and also inspired

and also like, will you be my big sister and will you adopt me?

Like so many feelings rushed over me because I just immediately felt so connected to her

and the way that she expresses being a woman and being confident and being strong and having

strong boundaries and just being willing to be

silly and creative and fun and not giving a fuck about being quote unquote cringe or embarrassing or

whatever it is like you guys know I love to be silly I love to play I love to be me and when I saw

her I felt the reflection of myself and just seeing somebody who is in this,

you know, social media world, but it's truly in it for the fun of it.

And I am just so excited to see how this conversation unfolds today.

I'm sure some of you know her.

I'm sure some of you love her.
