Notable quotes from Dana’s interview:
They took advantage of our altruism and our kindness, and I’m sick and tired of it.
The interesting part of my life is that I don’t really even think that I understood what I was hungry to create and what I was capable of doing until the last few years.
Having a bumpy childhood makes me someone who looks at the glass half-full because I almost had to.
One of the negatives of social media is that you just don’t see the full picture of someone when they say something and everyone sometimes piles on
I’ve grown into someone who’s learned to stand up for myself and what I deserve.
