With each role I've taken as a multimedia designer and marketer, there was always a distinct moment when my values conflicted with an aspect of the job. From then on, I found myself suppressing my beliefs more and more, and consequently, my connection with my identity faltered.
These experiences taught me that my intersecting identities require me to stay true to my beliefs; I can't ignore myself, nor should I. Ultimately, I came to three important conclusions:
1) I need to work in environments that align with my values. 2) Business can be conducted ethically and with integrity. 3) Kindness is a strength, not a weakness.
After facing many challenges, I created something that reflects these principles: a business where I don't have to sacrifice my identity to succeed or fit in.
