She stated that learning stories from people about their experience with the process has been exciting. Whitney also said that through this, she was reminded of the judgment women face."But there is also...it always reminds me there's so much judgment really...just towards women for living, existing, breathing, being mothers, not being mothers, how they're gonna be mothers.
