“the last few years haven’t been easy, I’ll admit that. there are moments i get frustrated from the inaccuracy, inappropriate comments, sexualization, and unnecessary insults that ultimately have resulted in pain and insecurity for me,” Millie told her followers. “but not ever will i be defeated. ill continue doing what i love and spreading the message in order to make change.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
