QUOTES
“It gets greater later. And I think, in media like advertising, we have this - weird expiration date at 40. But I know, and I know you too feel like we're just getting started.” - Valeisha Butterfield
“The things I tolerated at 25, I'm not tolerating now [in my 40s]. And so I think that's the hard part, because I have different boundaries now than I've ever had, and that feels so good.” - Valeisha Butterfield
