When I was an undergraduate student, I was told many times there was no money in a history degree. I realize that people who encourage doubt and fear don't bet on their own potential. 

Despite graduating in a recession, working minimum wage work in the food industry for a decade, and growing up in an island that the world sometimes dismiss, I am the hero of my own story. I enjoy intersectional career choices because my history degree gave me the road map of unconventional folks in the past who challenged the status quo.

If they can, I can. 

If it doesn't exist it, find a way to invent it. 

May I be a reminder that it is possible to enjoy working in art, media, activism, education, and leadership.
