As a female child, the artist remembers that she was taught to be afraid of almost
everything. This taught fear comprised an extensive list including math, many
career choices, as well as big cities, public speaking, higher education, raising her
voice, adult men (perhaps a realistic fear). Hopefully much has changed for
younger generation females, but the artist reminds us that we can kick fear away
to accomplish anything and everything.
