My family, my grandparents specifically, they always come at me with, you know, like, you moved to LA and I don’t know who you are. And I’m like, “Mimi, you didn’t know who I was ever.” You know, ’cause I’ve been presenting as that little Southern, the Southern woman, you know, she doesn’t leave the house without makeup on. She’s married and has a college degree by 21. She has kids by 24. It’s like, it’s this perfect life that’s been kind of planned out for you, especially as a white woman from the south. And I just rejected it always, but I played to it with my family because you don’t wanna be the black sheep. You know, I don’t wanna come out like yelling all of these incredibly leftist slogans. Just to, you know, my family is just not, they’re not in the mindset to even be receptive to any of it. So I moved to LA and I was like, I have never been more myself.
