Not everyone has the privilege of having a job or earning money through activism or in careers where its "ok". What compounds this is when good jobs are hard to come by in your field, bc then u gotta pipe down/increase ur effort to anonymize yourself. But if you're a minority?

Sometimes you feel like you have no choice. Either no choice but to expose yourself for the cause(s) bc what you or people could stand to gain is so great, or silently support from the shadows, or simply disconnect. Because if you were public about it, the backlash in murky.

Dispensa: backlash is* murky. I don't necessarily call myself or what I do activism. It's just calling out injustice when I see it. It's literally wanting all people--including mine who are underrepresented in so many spaces--to be taken care of. It's passion for the culture.

Gotta live your life like Hamilton. If you stand for nothing, what will you fall for?

Let’s just say it can be more complex and difficult than a 4 year degree and take more time. Lots about what you need to know involves who is for real and who might be using you.

Oh for sure. Luckily for me, if I don't have to make it public, I just don't make what I do public. Big possibility that certain views could count against me one day with my "dream" employer...but whatever, if my career's on the line, oh well. I'll know that they're not my path.
