“So in ’SHE Must Be Obeyed’ you get to see competition, you get to see drama, you get to see fashion, you get to see music, all put into one,” she said.

“And also we had to showcase what young talents go through. They are very hungry to be seen. They want to showcase their talents, unfortunately they do not study their contract, they do not get a lawyer, families that are experienced to educate them.”
