44: Pride and Privilege
This week, the ladies chat with Kelsey Scott. Recently featured in the Oscar winning 12 Years A Slave, this actress, screenwriter and director, is not afraid of being bossy. She takes control of her own life and encourages aspiring actresses to do the same.
They also discuss what leadership means to millennials, as well as the fallout following a pivotal moment on Twitter. In the end, @SteenFox and other survivors show the media who is boss.
