@WeAreTheTempest exists for every girl/woman/femme/person ā€” who like meā€” have felt like they donā€™t belong, who have felt out of place.

The Tempest exists to remind us that we do, and that we matter. That our voices matter.
Itā€™s been one of the toughest journeys. Iā€™m a startups person through and through and yet I tremble with caution when encouraging anyone to pick running a startup over a safer bet with a Corp job. Unless you have a safety net/cushion donā€™t.
I donā€™t know how long Iā€™m in this world for, life is unexpected and uncertain.

But for as long as I am hereā€” I will continue to do what I do, and I will continue to speak up, and to use what power I have to amplify other voices.
Media is one facet of this, there are many others. But thatā€™s a convo for another time.
If you think I can support you w anything, reach out. My DMs are open.
