As well as mentoring young women in entertainment, on how to protect themselves in a very swayed industry. Recently she has started working for the team at Tomorrow Man/ Woman, teaching adults and children about support and communication. This woman is not afraid to ask the tough questions that could seriously make a difference in many lives. The same questions she is willing to answer herself.
