”My work is my activism. It’s rooted in a belief that we are all entitled to a life of joy and dignity and safety. Whether it’s about the individuals and communities whose stories I’m entrusted to tell, or field-building with my brilliant colleagues for a just and equitable industry, I hope that comes through in all of my work. Surviving is not the goal. Thriving is.”
