Would you be able to give up your career to get married / start a family?
No. I wanted both, I got both and now I have to deal with both ;)

Why are you a feminist?
Born into a freshly collapsed state and raised by a family with many struggles – but with a golden heart and good intentions: Intersectional Feminism is my empowering megaphone to fight inequality, injustice and ignorance.
