'I never want to be afraid to try something for fear that it's going to land poorly.'
It was born out of a recent case that happened here in the Hudson Valley. [After the trial in 2019,] these young women started saying to me, “A girl I went to high school with was just sentenced to 19 years in prison for killing her abusive partner.” I had heard about this already, you know, it’s a really small town. So I started investigating it through articles that had been written and through the paper covering the trial.
I went to Fordham at Lincoln Center, which has a really wonderful law school attached to it. And that was the trajectory I was on. I grew up outside of D.C., so many of our parents worked for the government. If you could work in Langley, that was the biggest deal ever. The FBI and CIA would come scout at our science fairs. And so that was my fallback plan. I was going to go work for the government. I was doing criminology and psychology and journalism courses.
I’ll be honest, I’m not good at that. I don’t ever want to feel like I’m done with it. So I have been struggling with that. I actually did, and I got a DM from a woman who practices mindfulness. She was like, “I need to teach you some skills.” And I was so grateful that someone saw that.
