Every time I think I have a grip on what Jodie means to me I see something else and start wanting to cry. Little girl me couldn’t have DREAMED of such things. Little me, growing up in the 80s, mostly saw that boys and men had all the adventures, got to be the heroes.

And I am SO glad that it’s changing. I am SO glad that little girls and boys can now see women be the heroes. Little me would pretend to be a boy having adventures because that was the way she thought it worked. Little girls now can just… have the adventures. They can just be.

Representation matters.
