A world where your brilliance is questioned, your competence is policed, and your confidence is labeled aggression.
A world where your excellence is expected but never celebrated, your presence tolerated but rarely welcomed.
And I’m louder and I push back harder than most…not because it’s easy, but because silence costs too much.
Every time I walk into a space where the unspoken rules were never meant for me, I’m reminded that surviving this world requires more than intelligence.
