However, the conversation between Burke and Williams didn’t end there. According to the activist, she soon discovered that Williams “doesn’t bullsh-t.”
“She’s real straightforward. And I think people read her to be demure and maybe meek, but she’s so not that person. She’s such a badass,” Burke tells Vazquez. “I just enjoyed her a lot. And she was straightforward with me, and we had a great conversation.”
The discussion that the two had, Burke explains, is an example of how she doesn’t want “to tiptoe around this thing.”
“Because then we’ll be having these nicey-nicey conversations,” she says. “And then I’ll be hanging up and calling somebody else, like, ‘Do you think that she wants me to da-da-da?, instead of just talking to her and saying, ‘Listen, sis, this is not me. I can sit this one out because I wasn’t expecting to go anyway, right?’ So.”
