We live in a world built upon broken systems. We cannot expect the people who built those systems, or who benefit from those systems, to be the ones who tell the essential stories that expose and change them. We need new voices.

I am dedicated to empowering the next generation of storytellers to tell their stories, especially giving those from historically underrepresented backgrounds.
