"Moxie is such an incredible woman not only for her authentic music but also for her honesty and pure personality. It's hard to find people out there that are just as beautiful on the inside than they are on the outside but that's exactly what she is. She has the biggest heart and uses her platform for so much good. The love she also has for her fans is so special. There's no doubt that if you love her she will love you right back. I've been supporting Moxie for a good four months now and I have felt nothing but love since the day I met her. Moxie is truly an inspiration and I am so thankful to be able to look up to someone as genuine and wonderful as she is." -Allie aka @lovesickallie via twitter
