Who is OLIVIA FOX to you personally?
OLIVIA FOX is a solidarity in all women. Women bringing other women up and celebrating that. We are warriors that have to fight so many battles, whether they be personal or global. It is important to raise up strong, confident, and inclusive women. OLIVIA FOX has given me a way to take a personal struggle, turn it into something that can be frozen in time, and let it go. These songs for me are about battles most of us women can relate to.

Top 3 favorite songs: It’s too hard to say top three, but here are three that I love. Dirty Diana, The Story, Ironic
Guilty Pleasure song or songs: I love to sing Adele’s Hello at the top of my lungs when no one is around. I also pretend I’m in the music video when I’m driving, but I don’t think I’m the only one who does that.
