When my daughters spend time or have met Katie Taylor, it’s the best factor that I might ever see – them taking a look at a feminine who has achieved a lot and proven them that something’s attainable, even when every part’s stacked in opposition to you. Something’s attainable. I feel what we’re missing in society in the meanwhile is function fashions.
“Sadly, we now reside in a world the place function fashions, or influencers, will not be essentially doing issues that the older era, which I class myself as, or dad and mom would need your children to see or suppose is appropriate. (It’s) nothing to do with girls, nothing to do with males. You need your children to behave in a sure method. That’s not a method you’d need your children to behave, for my part. That is solely my opinion. However we reside in a f—— psychological world. Sadly, clout is simply being chased far and wide. To every their very own.”
