This is so great and expertly researched. I like all the gatekeeper stuff especially.
“Indeed, gatekeepers are everywhere; they’re a confusing mixture of real individuals and organizations, cultural abstractions, systemic biases, and frankly, the ghosts I create from my own self-doubt.” And your point about just needing to bravely do it. About to listen through the links and your performance. I just went to a concert last week and a band performed an original song of an identical theme: I’m awesome and so why did you stop being into me. The crowd loved it.
