Why We Were Anonymous
We believe in leading by example. Many elements of this work, our work, are highly sensitive. Outwardly, we remained anonymous so that you could, too, if that increased comfort levels. Anonymity is a right, just like free-speech. We exercised it because we respect your right to privacy as well.
Control over a narrative is vital to empowerment. The right timing to share truths, successes, and vulnerabilities ought to be driven by the individual at the heart of the story.
If you are an institution and request a demonstration or workshop, or if you are an individual interested in 1:1 support, that will, obviously, necessarily shift. And we look forward to meeting you. Respectfully.
