"And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who couldn’t hear the music."

Emman then offered her personal interpretation of the quote, connecting it to her journey of self-expression:

"And this tattoo is just a reminder that I have the freedom to dance to the music I hear, regardless of whether people can hear it too. I think it works in that way as well, that I'm dancing and maybe some people can hear the music or some people don't but I'm happy I'm listening to the music."

Her words eloquently captured the experience of feeling misunderstood or judged by others while choosing to live authentically, driven by an inner conviction.
