“'I’m learning to let go of the myth of perfection and the assignment that our role as women in the public eye is to never make mistakes. Early on, I thought my role was to be perfect, to be a saint, a model citizen, a model woman, a model Latina, whom everyone could be proud of. It’s a really harmful dynamic that says we’re only deserving or worthy if we are perfect in every way and if everybody is happy with us. And so I feel now the work is giving myself the permission to be more of who I am, whether people like that or not.'”
