Voice of Her

Have faith in the value of your vulnerability,for it is where your inner strength truly thrives. It was only during my interview with Canaan that we reached the second question before needing to reach for tissues. Before she created “Gigi Fong”, every interview used to reduce her to a quiver, her voice cracking. “Bold isn't a label I'd ever give myself.” she confessed, with a raw honesty that was genuinely refreshing.
