“I was burnt. I was fried. “Listening to Black women” was a catchphrase, and DEI a trend, but still no one seemed ready to answer the questions. People were not listening. I was lauded for being “better than computers” at finding fake accounts and recognizing trolls, but still I was rejected for jobs and had TED talks spiked on those topics for making people “uncomfortable.” No matter how good I was, how much I cross referenced and made links, I was not “allowed” to change knowledge on the level I felt it needed to be, not the way I wanted to.”
