Elle Fanning has been in Hollywood for so long and I’m so glad that she’s at a place now where she feels comfortable sharing the horrible experiences that she has had. Love her
I really ❤ her and she’s super talented
Ditto. I am a huge fan of her in The Great. She’s amazing!
She’s sooo amazing!! Love her and her sister Dakota.
"The Great" was incredible!
Elle Fanning has the same size feet as Taylor Momsen. 🎭🩰🎨
More ACTRESS roundtables plz. Natasha sayin you dont have to live like this to Ayo is Everything.
this was my favorite. It was like Azalea Banks' message to Taylor on Matt Healy. Like no. Aim higher.
@@Corrieander This. You can do so much better. The Bar is on the floor.
@@Corrieander what did azalea banks say to Taylor about matt healy?
@@minminnnn that he smells like cheese and to dump him.
@@minminnnn nothing she shouldn’t know (or didn’t know) already. Tay Tay just didn’t care
So much admiration for Devery Jacobs for correcting Sheryl about the language used to talk about indigenous peoples. It took guts to call that out on someone older and on a big public platform, and she did it with kindness and in service to education.
And Sheryl taking it in stride and completely understanding
@@harlequeenchannel seriously! i loved everything about that interaction
@@harlequeenchannel Exactly! Out of all the gems dropped here, that was the biggest one...this was amazing!
I know she felt uncomfortable about it though. I saw her try to sip some water and calm herself down after! Those kind of interactions are panic inducing and they both handled it very well.
This part of the conversation is around 43:56 if anyone is curious.
Props to Ayo for saying she was “looking for a check.” I feel like so many people would look down on her for saying that because acting is looked at as an art instead of a job. But at the end of the day acting is her JOB. And what she said about if the pilot was to not be picked up, how was she going to return to the writers room, was so true. Because as we all know, writers don’t get paid enough.
It's typically the celebrities who already have enough money to live comfortably for the rest of their lives that are the ones who worry more about the artistic side of acting. It makes sense for actors like Ayo who are recently successful to be more worried about the paycheck.
@@booms3545 I think both groups, especially the young and upcoming actors so care about the artistic value of acting imo.
Of course, making art is always a job. Painting was van Gogh's job, carving sculptures was Michelangelo's job, writing music was Mozart's job. It's what they did to put food on their tables (very little food in van Gogh's case).
Yes! It was so refreshing to hear!
Yep glad she did that’s most people with any job
the fact that jenna looked up to elle’s sister for years and years and now jenna and elle are doing incredible things together is so heartwarming
Of course it's cool to have the new young celebs on these panels, but wow, do the older ones have amazing wisdom! Just hearing Sheryl and Natasha talk so honestly and with such gratitude is really inspiring.
the comination of young and the experienced ones is perfect at this table
Sheryl was absolutely the best, but I found Natasha a bit annoying, though, tbh. She came across kind of full of herself and just spoke without end, but without any of the substance of charm or insight that Sheryl had.
I really love when there’s a mix like this. Love the variety of experiences and viewpoints!
Typical indian comment.
Waah super
As a teenage indigenous girl, I could not admire Devery more. Reservation Dogs holds such a deep, important place in my heart not only because it is filmed in my hometown and recognizes the way I and many of my friends grew up, but because it's not often the reality of our culture is presented in such a large way. I think it's so inspiring to watch Devery and the rest of the cast shed light on not only my experiences but many, many other indigenous teens across the world. Because of Rez Dogs, it reminds me that I am not defined by where I came from and how I look.
That is why as indigenous ppl, you should stop expecting hollywood or whyte ppl to make these types of shows/movies for you or expect race-swapping for diversity points. We are aching for originality. And if you want ppl to watch your culture on screen, then make it. =)
@@yessirree5747 that’s exactly why reservation dogs was made, us as natives had to create that representation for ourselves. hence why there’s all indigenous actors, writers, producers working on that show, not to mention the several other projects by other native film makers currently in the works :)
@@brynncameron899 That is fantastic. =)
i don't even live in the US and even i loved it. such a well-made show, really deserves all the attention it's getting
@@aushimdas7481 Same! Have you checked out the movie Prey?
These conversations are so important. Shout out to Devery Jacobs for speaking up and correcting people. Such a huge fan of Sheryl lee Ralph, and her response is exactly why!!!
No, what Devery did was awful. Going out of her way to disrespectfully “correct” a much older, more experienced, wiser actress who is clearly very sweet and intelligent out of an arrogant sense of entitlement is nothing to be proud of. Sheryl did indeed handle it with incredible grace, though, so props to her.
@@ninjagamer1359 what would of been a respectful way to word it?
@@ninjagamer1359 get real boomer
@@soggynugz I’m younger than Devery is bro 😂 I’m just not an idiot who can’t tell the difference between haughty disrespect and productive communication
@@Ron_Ne1214 She could start by not needlessly going to the extreme lengths she did just to try to excessively and publicly embarrass Sheryl as much as possible with it. But first of all, to make an issue out of the use of that term in this context in the first place is petty and pedantic, especially considering the generational difference between the two that should be graciously accepted with understanding
But if she absolutely had to “correct” Sheryl, the polite way to have done it would have been to quite simply use her preferred term a couple times in direct reply to Sheryl, perhaps even quoting Sheryl but with her preferred term in place of “Indians,” and then, if she really felt the need and had the boldness to do more than that, she could have spoken with Sheryl privately about it after they were done filming more directly.
What Devery instead decided to do was be a perfect stereotype of an arrogant, hypersensitive millennial.
I love Natasha for noticing that the moderator cut Sheryl off while she speaking and made sure she was able to regain the floor to finish her thought.
Sheryl finally get her recognition she deserves
Nice
Gd
Wow
👍
nice
jenna talks really fast at the start almost as if she thinks she shouldn’t be taking up time, it’s nice to see the older actors like natasha speaking to and involving her
Classic sweetheart Jenna
Glad Elle is finally getting the attention she so deserves.
She is amazing and so is her sister
So so talented and beautiful
She is so underrated in The Great. Want her to win some awards for that.
What happened to her older sister
Elle Fanning has the same size feet as Taylor Momsen. 🎭🩰🎨
I need Sheryl to be my life coach 😂 That woman was spitting gems
i thought u said spittin germs i was like hold up😭
the WORDS the TONE the PHRASING just AN AMAZING SPEAKER
Nice to see Sheryl finally get her recognition she deserves
It’s about damn time
ok
just cuz shes black.
Bruh she hasn't done anything besides one show, calm down 😂
@@angelicannihilator I mean she has y’all just haven’t been paying attention
I feel like Elle Fanning is still underrated. Her performance in The Great is one of the best I've ever seen. That whole cast is amazing. I wish more people in my life would watch it!
Agreed!
Elle Fanning has the same size feet as Taylor Momsen. 🎭🩰🎨
Such an underrated gem of a show.
It's definitely very well written and hilarious, somehow manages to shock me at every turn.
How exceptional are they in that show!?
"Pete Davidson's girlfriend" "You don't have to live like this" lmaooooooooo
Natasha is so cool. The End. And notice how she searches out others opinions, and brings Jenna into the conversation. She is a great co-moderator her. Subtly helping the group dynamic. Is she single ? Not asking for a friend
her and fred armisen broke up not too long ago. shoot your shot 🫡
Ayo kills me 😂 Anytime I watch any interview of hers I just think of how much I want her to be my friend
Truly one of the best roundtables I’ve seen thus far. It’s always an interesting watch when it’s the women’s roundtable because their issues and struggles are completely different from the men’s: Natasha’s account of how people find it shocking that she can do it all but would not bat an eye if it was a Harvey Keitel or how Jenna’s assertiveness could be misconstrued as problematic. But each of these women have such great wisdom and knowledge and self-awareness about the industry that is so inspiring and powerful to watch. And I love the addition of Indigenous American actress Devery Jacobs whose presence and knowledge is powerful in itself.
@@CS30123 girl no one said that
@@CS30123quite a leap in logic you made there
@@CS30123 the lack of critical thinking skills is insane
Agreed that this is one of the best roundtables yet. Well done to all ladies.
It’s so fascinating to observe the difference between actor roundtables and actress roundtables. Both are extremely respectful and intelligent but I can’t help but notice the pure joy that emits from a group of women who are there to share stories and passion for their craft. The random jokes that make the entire table erupt with laughter reminds me I’m grateful to be a woman.
There’s something about women of all different backgrounds getting to praise each other while also receiving praise for their outstanding work that warms my heart.
Women
The conversation about Devery battling with trying to represent Native Americans a "right" way but also reminding herself that she herself *is* the accurate representation is so relatable to me. Like even as people who aren't actors, it's so easy to doubt yourself in a job or position and think you have to fit a certain mold even when no one's necessarily told you that.
About to cry when Natasha started being real after the "are you having fun?" conversation, its such an overlooked thing thats so honest.
Glad to see Elle Fanning here. I am really enjoying her work. The Great is a fantastic show.
She has been getting booked in so many promising new projects too. I definitely see her career reaching new heights in the next few years
@@Nancy-sf2pl I know. She's got that upcoming Bob Dylan biopic with Timothee Chalamet, which I am especially excited for. She is certainly going places.
Yes , finally , she has been working in the industry since she was a child but it seems like now she’s pivoting her career to a whole new direction
she's so sweet🥺
@@Tarikkb She said in an interview she got rejected for a big blockbuster movie cuz she didn't have enough "insta" followers or at least that's what she heard. Ridiculous.
ayo and jenna being in the same room makes me soo happy 💗
saaaame fr
lol i was just gonna say that
I loved the Roasting Pete Davidson's part out of nowhere.
"Fame frees people up to be exactly who they are. EXACTLY who they are!'
- Sheryl Lee Ralph.
So profound.
Sheryl is just a beam of light and I love how she celebrates the others in real time. That “yay you” was so cute. I know that was felt.
It’s great seeing young gen Z actresses like Jenna, Elle, and Ayo on here!
Elle is 25 a millennial
The only Gen z here is Jenna who is 20 ayo is also 27 LMAO
@@kimberlyf5993 nope. Elle just turned 25. They’re both gen Z. Ayo is gen Z depending on who you ask.
@@cutiedopo17 well I’m just speaking FACTUALLY lol if you search up Gen Z it’s from age 8-23. They’re millennials period lol
@@kimberlyf5993 no they are not. The start date for gen Z is 95-late 96. The two are gen Z. I’m sorry but I can personally send you factual sources from Pew and other websites.
I remember Sheryl from SISTER ACT 2 and her iconic quote: “SINGING DOES NOT PUT FOOD ON THE TABLE! SINGING DOES NOT PAY THE BILLS!”
“If you *but Mama* me one more time…”
@@FeelinErie 🤣🤣🤣 love it!!!!!
RITA LOUISE WATSON!
I was going to mention this too. I loved her as Florence Watson.
“It’s a lot of people out there singing their shoulda coulda wouldas”
"Fame frees people up to be exactly who they are. EXACTLY who they are." Sheryl Lee Ralph really is an icon. And she is 100% correct.
So happy Sheryl and Elle are in this ☺️
Just here for Jenna and Natasha
Ayo is so effortlessly hilarious, she truly is a comedic talent ❤
JENNA LOVE YOU Emma JENNA XOXO
Elle Fanning (and Nicholas Hoult) is so underrated for her performance as Catherine the Great in The Great. Not only is the show well-made, all the performances are top-class. I wish she and the show got some well-deserved love.
They’ve both been nominated for Emmys, Golden Globes and SAG’s for their performances so I’d hardly say they’re underrated.
maybe it's a platform thing cause i would love to see it but i can't afford to pay for all streaming services
Love Natasha Lyonne " I've been in this for 40 years, I am now 24 now" lmao
Natasha Lyonne saying she’s playing an ageless character…. Honestly so fits. Poker face is so fantastic, I never ever wondered what age her character is. I was just fascinated by the character and wanted to hang out with her 😂
Jenna was too polite and introverted to speak much 🥺🫶🏻 but Sheryl kept me entertained 😆 Loved her and now I need to watch Abbott Elementary
Jenna was too busy listening to speak much but when she does speak, she makes a lot of great points, especially about being heard in the industry, which if she did not put her foot down, the show "Wednesday" would not be as successful as it was.
@@freddyfeliciano4468 yes I agree too.
As Sheryl said "she's a grown @$$ woman" she's lived and seen it all.
She is also by far the biggest one(in terms of commercial success) so I am pretty sure she is worried about taking too much of the spotlight.
@@aminyapussi4740 yes I agree like recently she’s a the most popular one. But Elle fanning is popular too. One of the things about Jenna is that she is a humble person and that she treats people with respect.
Love hearing Natasha & Sheryl speak. Two powerhouses
Sheryl will always be dee to me
I love that Elle was in this she’s so underrated. So is Dakota Her sister. So was one of the best child actresses.
Ellle Fanning has the same size feet as Taylor Momsen. 🎭🩰🎨
Dear Hollywood Reporter… give this interviewer all the moneys!!! Give her the guys round tables too. She’s terrific. She’s not just ASKING questions, she’s LISTENING to the answers and volleying back. Incredible. Skilled. Put her Name in the title as well. Again… all the moneys!!!
Congratulations to Devery Jacobs on all their achievements and congratulations on directing an episode of television.
Her* Devery identifies as a she/her
@@KrimsonRose87 Their is a gender non-specific pronoun.
HUGE fan of Ayo, her comedic timing is so perfect!!!!
Rez Dogs is absolutely fantastic, if anyone hasn’t seen it yet, don’t sleep!
Sheryl Lee Ralph OP
P.S. Devery is right: We need a book of her quotes.
Yeah I came for Jenna and stayed for Sheryl haha
Sheryl and Viola Davis are similar in that way. Every time they speak you just get so inspired by every word thats coming out of their mouths !
@@ambre4144 Majorly agree.
Ayo was so fun and such a sweetheart yall better show her more love!!
Elle Fanning has been underrated ever since Somewhere & The Beguiled. Appreciate all these actresses being honest about their careers
Somewhere! That is such an underrated film. Probably Sofia's most sincere film.

Why?

Riiight ♥️ amazing ladies
@@Emy-fv5ny idk…. Normal human emotion🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️
Jenna really surprised me. She didn’t give into anything anyone tried to feed her. She’s just playing what fits her and giving it her all. She’s going to have a bright future
I love when Natasha was letting Ayo know that being Pete Davidson’s girlfriend ain’t it. Lololol
Why is Pete Davidson so famous?
lmfao fr 😊
Who tf is Natasha
@@dariuschisholm7317 the bright redhead
@@zink-vg3kz o
Natasha, if you see this, write something where everyone at this table comes together and collaborates on an epic piece. This was a fantastic table full of chemistry and love and support for each other.
🤣 Natasha is so fantastic. She totally could. ❤❤ sign me uuup🎉😊
Righ? All of them worked so well together. Come on, Natasha, make it happen.
Jenna is the most mature 20 year old ever. She is so kind and humble. I’ve never heard her be selfish or over the top. Adore her, she’s doing such beautiful things.
It's funny tho bc she can't even speak spanish, but look at anya taylor joy, white latina and that's her first language
Definitely she’s the #1 actor I’d like to hang with. Maybe the only one lol
I try not to idolize celebrities, but like what an AUTHENTIC conversation
i love Ayo with all my heart her kindness and charisma is everything bro she is actually so underrated
ikr 🥰i love her sm too that i followed her on insta and i barely do that to celebrities.
Natashas reaction to what ayo said always KILLS MEEEE
I haven't heard of Ayo, Devery and Sheryl but I just became a fans of them from this roundtable. I must watch their shows. Especially Reservation Dogs being Indigenous myself. Lovely chat to watch.
You should definitely look at more of Sheryl. She famously originated the re of Deena Jones in the Dreamgirls Broadway show.
devery is so sweet definitely look into her roles and everything she does !!
@@NoirGalaxyMagixBaddie18 I def will! I loved the way she spoke in this episode. Thank you for the rec I will check it out. :)
@@cam-so8bq I def will! She seems like a lovely person from this episode.
@@AllTheGoodUsernamesAreTakenn she really is!! check out one of her older roles in the order, and her role in the upcoming marvel show, echo !
Elle Fanning is so underrated. Her acting in The Great is perfect!!!
Yesss! She has her own wonderful vibe🌸✨🧁💗🍨
Perfect indeed.
Absolutely!
Elle Fanning has the same size feet as Taylor Momsen. 🎭🩰🎨
Yessss and she was phenomenal “The Girl From Plainville”. I hate how no one talks about her performance in that show. She was literally killer!
so glad Devery Jacobs is in this and getting the recognition she deserves!! She was amazing in both seasons of Reservation Dogs
Really looking forward to the trajectory of Ayo's career
Jenna like: tf u guys laughing at😒😅 from 😀😁😂😃😄😅 to 😉😊😐😑😐
Really love this roundtable, felt very balanced in terms of representation. Every actress on this table has played prominent and memorable roles. This is how these interviews should be done. This interview and selection is well-rounded and complete in every way.
i genuinely couldn’t stop smiling & bobbing my head in agreement
Devery addressed the need to say Indigenous so well. She was so kind about it. People want to know how to show respect towards others and the way she explained it was so well said and kind.
Ayo is so fun. Gotta watch The Bear.
The diversity of actresses in this panel is outstanding, I don’t think I’ve seen it quite this interesting yet. I love it.
30:40 was so wholesome, love when someone genuinely recognizes hardwork :)
These women are total gems 😍
The level of joy Sheryl expresses at everyone's success is so beautiful & shows who she truly is. What a beautiful human being ❤
so happy for Ayo, finally getting the recognition she deserves
I love Jenna’s personality, and she’s also incredibly beautiful, talented and intelligent.
😂😂
@dariuschisholm7317 why did u laugh
@@farahaugustin2863 cuz I see simps
You can tell how much love and how passionate Jenna has when talking about acting she's definitely going to go very far in her career and she’s very intelligent and not to mention incredibly Beautiful, I Think she’ll win a Oscar and many more awards in the future for sure she’s such an amazing actress already, And I’m rooting for her, and can’t wait to see what she does next. :)
“Hey, you wouldn’t believe the ideas I’ve got”
That girl Ayo 😂
From Moesha to Sister Act 2, to even this interview, Sheryl Lee Ralph gives such motherly vibez. I met her before and she's very much like this ❤
To see how far Jenna has come and just seeing her receive credits for her work makes me so proud and she is someone that many of us look up to so much....she basically is someone that most of us grew up with and someone that is relatable to youths, genzs
Looking around the table, all the actors here are so different yet have such similar thoughts and feelings about the industry. We need more of these.
It’s so cute hearing Sheryl talk about how much she loves being on Abbot Elementary.
As a long time fan of Jenna I’m so happy seeing all the success she’s been getting she’s so humble, down to earth, intelligent, talented, witty, Caring, and not to mention one of the most beautiful women in the world with a beautiful soul, I can’t think of anyone else who deserves it more than her, She is such and amazing person and actress and when you hear her talk about acting you can see how much love and passion she has for it and making films in general, And I can guarantee you 100% Jenna Ortega will be one of the biggest Names and actors in the world and industry In the future and she will win a Academy Award or multiple of them and many many more other prestigious awards, She is already so incredibly talented and I can’t wait to see her career blossom and grow and she what she dose in the future, Maybe producing and Directing Films and TV and I’ll be rooting for her and watching whatever she’s in or a part of in anyway and supporting her. ❤️
Totally right, btw I think she's already one of the biggest names in the Industry and a phenomenal queen in Hollywood🥰
holy don’t forget to clean your mouth
Elle fanning sitting there with her hand raised to speak is so freaking adorable.
I love how when Sheryl Lee spoke, everybody gave full attention and respected the OG in the room. Everybody came and dropped gems. And I’m a huge fan of Jenna so this was a treat for me.
This whole things was just so wholesome as a whole and seeing/hearing everyone speak and their experiences is always a great to hear, with that said I just love Jenna's whole demeanor, like she just gives a natural shyness to her yet she knows when to be herself and finally let her voice be heard not just for her sake but for the future people coming up especially with her age, I just truly find her amazing
These actors seems so internally reflective which is refreshing. I enjoyed this roundtable for sure.
Sheryl is amazing. The way she reacted to being politely corrected showed off her grace
I noticed, that’s how you show INTELLIGENCE & GRACE ❣️
Its crazy how different vibe of this show is with an all female cast. Love it!
Elle Fanning is so sweet! She seems so happy to be there.
Elle Fanning has the same size feet as Taylor Momsen. 🎭🩰🎨
just love to see such a healthy conversation between such strong women about their experiences. you can feel all the love and support. plz do more women round tables !!

Do you have a life at all or do you just focus everything on celebrities who don't know or care that you exist?
best roundtable so far for tv! this table doesn't have any shortage on perspective. would've loved hannah waddingham here too.
51:11 dude a tv show with Elle fanning being “typecasted” as a sweetie but plot twist near the end of her being the actual mastermind behind a crime or drama would be so cool
Danganronpa Live Action, please. 😅
I'm so proud of our girl Jenna 🤏🤏❤❤
YES
I just finished the third season of The Great yesterday and WOW Elle was better than ever this season, I felt everything her character felt so deeply. She is so underestimated!!!
The beautiful and educational exchange between Devery and Sheryl. I wish people could have conversations with compassion and understanding more.
Elle Fanning: a flower garden
Jenna Ortega: a dark night sky
Seriously it's so cool seeing these two icons interact with each other
If you haven’t caught it yet, their actors on actors interview dropped on Wednesday
@@davidsinnott7160 on wednesday eheheh
Lacey Rose, your tables are immaculate.
Idk why Jenna is so surprised by her fame she has the stoic goth vibes down. Love Sheryl, love Reservation Dogs, love Natasha, love Elle!
Sheryl is everyone's mother, I love her so much.
ayo is so funny too
I love watching these roundtables, because they select voices that seem to resonate with one another, while finding actors who come from totally different walks of life, approaches to the industry, and perceptions of their contributions and roles within it. The younger women here have really inherited a much more inclusive and receptive profession (not to say that has entirely changed for the better, but there has been significant positive change), so it's refreshing to hear that they have greater say in their boundaries, the artistic process, and even have a hand in the productions themselves. Particularly having notable directors and fellow actors elevating them and empowering them to ask for things that their predecessors were never allotted is nice to hear.
My one last takeaway from all of this is that I'm missing out on a Larry David Marvel film. That idea of him being continually annoyed and inconvenienced by the existence and intervention of superheroes and villains would be hilarious to watch. Feige! Get on it!
I feel like this was probably an eye-opening conversation for someone as young and “new” to the adult world as Jenna…. while she has worked hard for 10 years to get the platform that she now has/career, she is surrounded by three or four women here who have had to wait 40 years to have their big break. Who have been working their whole lives to get to this point. Everyone’s path is different and I love how they were talking about ageless women, how Hollywood is now allowing older and older women to play younger and I think that’s amazing. I could tell Jenna was really absorbing the info here and realizing that at her young age she is already so successful versus some of these other women who have also been working hard, but just haven’t had the same luck or opportunities yet. Also probably generational differences. I could tell she was taking it every word that Sheryl was talking about when it comes to knowing who you are in the industry. She is just coming into her own and I’m excited to see where she goes. I love mixing this age groups in ethnicities together so that they can all hear each other’s perspective. It’s beautiful.
I loved this, I love the actor roundtables too but there's just something special I get from watching these women speak about their experiences and perspectives as actresses which are so layered and interesting. I could've listened to them for hours!
I feel like this is my opinion every time a new round table comes out, but this is my favorite. I am SO impressed with these women. I admire Natasha and Sheryl Lee Ralph, two women who have the wisdom of experience and the humility to match. I was SO intrigued by Jenna’s eloquence and strength, I can tell she’s fighting to be taken seriously and she is doing exactly what works for her. Devery impressed me with the graceful way she corrected Sheryl Lee -who responded beautifully-in service of community and education. If we could have more cross-generational discussions like that we might actually have some peace! It was super surprising to see Elle frankly discuss some of the ills of the industry especially as a former child actor. Last thought: maybe it’s because I have a bias toward women led discussions but I felt like Lacey Rose came alive during this discussion. I was hanging on to EVERY SINGLE WORD. Excellent content. This is exactly why i subscribed.
I love Lacey Rose. One of my favorite round tables was lead by her.
Haha can’t wait to see Ayo play Pete Davidson’s girlfriend. We’re manifesting it for you!
Shout out to Devery for sharing Indigenous appropriate language, took courage to say. 🫶
Yesss. Honestly was so amazing and inspiring. Such strength and courage. ♥️
@NinjaGamer13 You missed this comment. You're slacking. Being hateful wears you out, huh?
i started tearing up when jenna mentioned when she was little she wanted to play Wednesday Addams someday :') so proud of you Jenna!!! sending love
What a great table of wonderful empowering women. Natasha is genuinely an amazing actor and I hadn't realized how much she had been in. What a career! Also Tim Burton has found his new Johnny Depp in Jenna Ortega. You go warrior woman!
Love your comment :)
Please don't refer to Jenna as a 'warrior woman' - it's so disrespectful to actual warriors.
@TheUndeclaredNation
Everyone fights their own battles. We all are a “warrior” in our own philosophy.
