We as women need to empower each other.
I love when I get stories of young women that have overcome things such as birth defects that they've been hated on for or even just their own body confidence stories.
I'm pretty smart with boys. I know how to handle them and I know what to do around them.
I had body insecurities when I was younger. I still do.
Im always practicing lines, researching, trying to be fresh, and fully trying to become the characters I play. Thats how I roll.
It was an instant weight lifted off my chest - both literally and figuratively.
People like to clap back at the people who speak out most.
My mother wanted to name me Jackie or Jacqueline but she got to name my sister and my brother, so my dad and my brother insisted on naming me. And they were big fans of 'The Little Mermaid.'
Young women grow up in a really negative world today online and in person.
My life has definitely changed since 'Modern Family.' The show has made me more responsible, I really want to be a good role model for all kids so I have to think about what I say and do and how it looks to other kids!
I have two lovely parents who support everything I do, two siblings, and three beautiful nieces. My house is always filled with laughter and fun!
No matter what you look like or think you look like, you're special and loved and perfect just the way you are.
It's really unfortunate that instead of focusing on the really important issues in our world, Donald Trump chooses to make personal attacks on people.
It's incredible when women tell me that they've read things that I've said or have been inspired by things that I've done. To hear them say that because of something I did, they felt more positive about themselves and or had more of a voice to stand up for things that were right. It's been empowering for me to be able to help other women feel that way about themselves.
