Tell us about your experience with Tide Risers.
There is an earnestness and forthrightness in the Tide Risers community that I appreciate. It feels structured and professional. And yet, there is a flexibility that is comforting. When so many are rejected from professional opportunities with the vague explanation of "an improper fit," how refreshing it is to invite members into the community to "come as they are" and not have to "be on." I want more of that for myself and for others.
Is there anything else our members should know about you?
I'm fairly intellectual and think critically about societal constructs like capitalism and marriage, but I'm also practical enough to know that today, one needs a dollar to eat and no one wants to die alone. I'm happy to talk about ideal end states and present situations and how to close the gap incrementally.
