Let’s find out together.
My hyperfixation on learning new skills lead me to pursue…verifying sources. Well not exactly, but as a master’s student in multimedia journalism, it’s par for the course. I’ve learned the importance of utilizing multimedia elements to tell a story, and in a world of unspared attention spans, delivering the truth is just as important as finding it. Follow and subscribe to join me on my journey as I master the art of fact-checking.
About me
Before I became a direct service provider, government systems seemed grossly unfair, but I had no idea how to fix them. After 10 years in Los Angeles social services, I see with clear eyes.
My work has ranged from rape crisis counseling to outreach in riverbeds to foster youth mentorship to matching unhoused clients to housing resources. I originally planned on doing direct social work, but instead, stumbled upon system management and fell in love.
Knowledge is empowering
Structural bias is buried under shame, power, and money. It’s heavy. As a service provider, you carry this structure on your back. Just when you think you’ve triumphed, that you beat the system to help your client, you get hit with a curveball of bureaucracy, and you end the day angry and emotionally exhausted. Can we allow our most caring public servants to continue to fight alone?
Knowledge lifts communities
Giving our community the bullhorn—acknowledging people’s reality—creates social change. All it takes is our voices and ears and mouths. Do you dream of communities healing and thriving together? Can you imagine equitable housing, education, healthcare, and food for vulnerable people and communities of color? We can take back that power—it starts with knowledge. Let’s unlock how power plays.

“In Tibetan, the word we use for ‘I’ and ‘me’ is ‘nga’ and the word we use for ‘us’ and ‘we’ is ‘ngatso.’ So on the basic level of the words themselves there is, in the Tibetan language, an intimate connection between ‘I’ as an individual and ‘we’ as the collective. ‘Ngatso,’ the word for ‘we,’ literally means something like ‘a collection of “I”s’ or ‘many “I”s.’ So it’s like multiple selves, this kind of idea.”
