Because she identified with one character.

Because she was inspired by one brave decision.

I woke up and I said, "I'm coming out."

Through stories, she travels far from home

and explores the outer reaches of the human experience.

but all united in spirit.

There is nothing stronger than a broken woman

their joy,

their love,

their loss,

and their triumph.

Because it's more than what she sees on screen.

It's what she sees in herself.
