I decided to be an actress to tell stories that would make the world a better place, stories that would illuminate and enlighten and wake people up. And I always dreamed of using that platform to be an activist, too. So it’s been the greatest gift on the planet to be on change-making TV shows like ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK and BETTER THINGS, and be a part of change with organizations like TIMES UP where I am a founding member. I feel so grateful to inspire others to stand up for what they believe in and to truly insight change around equality for women, the environment, immigration, and mass incarceration.

I recently was deeply honored to receive a VOICE FOR THE VOICELESS award, which I treasure because that is exactly what I strive to be! I want to inspire my own daughter - and all women young and old - to be true to themselves, true to their own unique voice, and LISTEN to and help amplify the voices of the voiceless. That to me is a true role model.

I am my own unique awesome imperfect beautiful self. I am an actress. I am a mother. I am an activist. I am a daughter. I am a friend. I am a wife. I am a producer. I am an artist. I am part of a chorus. I am part of a movement. I am a creator. I am a role model.
