I tick all of my boxes. I've had people suggest that I use a different name or take down my picture off of LinkedIn but this is who I am and if that company feels that I'm not qualified because of my race or gender then so be it. I don't want to work there anyway!

Do you things were better when celebrities had strict marketing and media teams? Coonye's latest rant made me think about this. I mean celebrities have always said out-of-pocket things but I feel like in the 90s and 2000's it was less frequent. Maybe it isn't a great idea for every famous rich and powerful person to be able to share whatever they want whenever they want in 240 characters or less.
