Untitled STRONG WOMAN Play Lauren Wimmer
About This Show
Willa fights back against an abusive boyfriend. She writes an inspiring blog post causing her to become a famous activist overnight. Popstar Lily Nevins’ acoustic back-to-her-roots album entitled “Back To My Roots” was a critical failure. When Lily Nevins sees Willa on a talk show called “The Perspective” it inspires her to focus her next album on female empowerment and bring Willa along for the ride. In a chaotic world where the Earth’s President is stepping down to pursue his hobby of baking and a prank show has gone wild, Willa and Lily Nevins seek to bring stability to a world in fear.
