She shared a picture which read, "Wrong is wrong even if everyone is doing it and right is right even if no one is doing it."

She captioned the image drawing reference to what her mother used to tell her and stated, "My mom taught me to never be afraid to stand up and say “Wait, that’s not okay.” Even if you find yourself standing alone, speak up. Even if people get mad at you, speak up. It is not our job to stay silent so that others can stay comfortable. Use your voice to shape the world or others will continue to shape it for us."
