Not to detract from what she did with that head start. I applaud it, in fact, because that's precisely what should and can be done with that sort of head start.

KJ maximized the wealth of opportunity and privilege at her disposal. Good for her, and again, I applaud it. But the accomplishment should be discussed within the terms of her maximizing the possibilities enabled by the treasure trove head start she has been given.

Calling her self made isn't just a semantic lapse. It's blshit. nonsense. A lie. And should not be used.
