Key insights:

However, although she grew up with audio, it wasn't until her teenage years that she started experimenting with fashion, expressing herself through her ensembles, recycling her quirky fashion, and her This greatly confused my colleagues. “In the back of my mind, I knew it was going too far and felt like it was alienating people,” she says. “I realized how powerful clothes can be. This wild outfit made me feel special.”

It's not focused attention. It's divided attention. That's beautiful.”
