Summary
Analysis
Jade posts her schedule on the fridge: Saturday—the day that Woman to Woman is touring Mia’s gallery—is circled. Mia is also going to talk to them about being an entrepreneur. Mom teases Jade about being so excited, but Jade is actually counting down the days until the visit.
Again, Jade’s excitement stems in part from the fact that she advocated to make this visit happen—and now, it’s coming to fruition. She’s learning that she has the power to use her voice and make a difference, both for herself and for others.
