I have thoughts.
I also know how to share them.
I've spoken from stages, behind microphones, in City Council chambers, at community meetings, in classrooms, and across conference rooms. Sometimes I'm teaching. Sometimes I'm advocating. Sometimes I'm interviewing or being interviewed. Sometimes I'm trying to get a room full of people to participate.
