On authenticity

The in between | Photo by the author

I like authentic people.

We are better when we are true to ourselves and can bring every aspect of our being into all the spaces in which we exist.

In a world full of competition, where people struggle to shine or make their own mark, how do we find what makes us unique? What makes you stand out?

You exist in the in-between.
The intersections.
The messy.

What makes you different is the intersection of all of those things that you are and no one else is.

Fostering environments where people can develop and grow fully and authentically is my ultimate goal.

The masks you put on to hide your true essence diminish you.
Be yourself
Fully
Truly

Let people see who you really are — with all the quirks and the random things, and the contradictions, and the humor, and the love, and the darkness.
Be vulnerable and authentic.
This is your strength.
