Kecken exuded confidence during her three year stint as staff writer for ”The Wire” and that energy, she exhibited during her time as a writer, garnered her a director role for an episode from season one.
A personal highlight from the speech is when she preached about always fighting for ones beliefs, never being ashamed of ones origins and to always go after your dreams.
She ended her thirty minute speech challenging the women in the audience to spark change in the Communications field. Kecken concluded her speech by saying , ” Be true to who you are and just do it.”
