..."For her, the dirtier she can get, the better it is," Trowbridge says. "She'd prefer to camp at the village where we're staying, if it's possible. She always wants to know what she's talking about: 'This is what the morning looks like in this village. This is what nighttime looks like. This is what it's like to be a woman. This is what it's like to feed a family. This is what it's like not to. This is what it sounds like if you can't.' We work in deeply impoverished rural areas. It's a three-hour drive in Ethiopia to the nearest town, and it's very hard work to get there. The people have no clue who she is. And she's able to be herself in that situation. You look at her, and you can see what life was like for her before she got so famous. It's the same when she's with her children. You know, she's the one who's carrying the backpack, she's the one who's taking the kids off the plane. She has not chosen an easy life."
