“She said, ‘Oh, that’s great.

There’s no sin in telling the truth.”

“I made a very conscious decision to get to know the business of my business.

And to me, that path was obvious.”

DeBose also understands the importance of working hard for what she wants while also staying true to herself.

I don’t know if I have.

After a while you also learn you could’t change everyone’s mind.

That’s on them.

And what I’m doing now?

It ain’t easy, but I’m so thrilled by it!

It makes me want to get up in the morning."
