If you’re reading this and you’re aligned, I’m looking for support. Not charity. Not saviorism.

Support that honors the value of what I’m building. Support that sees survivors as future-makers.

#EthicalDesign #BuildTheFuture #AltTech

If I were a clean-cut white guy with a hoodie and an empty pitch deck, they’d be calling me a founder.

Instead I’m called delusional. Because I have scars, because I want more than just profit, because I still care about ethics.

#Feminism #EthicalDesign #SurvivorVoices

And they responded by:
– Accusing me of delusion
– Suggesting I was on substances
– Saying my memoir wouldn’t matter
– Dismissing my entire business as fantasy
– Telling me to “just get a job at Target”

#EthicalDesign #BuildInPublic #BooksNotBillionaires

I said I’m a survivor rebuilding from scratch. That I’m working nonstop: pitching investors, offering freelance services, applying for jobs, trying everything I can.

That I have a vision, and parts of it already exist.
