I assist. I edit. I tweak. I design. If you want to have impact, I&#8217;m your guy. If you want to know how to actually be equitable and inclusive instead of just saying you are concerned with DEI, I&#8217;m your guy. <br \/>I do not suffer fools. I still fight the power. I&#8217;ll always tell you the truth even when I know it&#8217;s hard for you to hear it. I&#8217;m tenacious, like my mother.
