I'm not safe I'm not nice I'm not skinny
00:00:04
I'm not this I had a lot of toxic
00:00:06
relationships in my job which led me to
00:00:09
never think that I was the best to never
00:00:11
think that I was quite good enough
00:00:13
because people made you feel that way
00:00:14
that doesn't just come out of nothing we
00:00:16
have made you because without this big
00:00:18
square box or this speaker where would
00:00:21
you be there's almost no like hey you're
00:00:23
really talented we're grateful to have
00:00:25
you and you're helping us make this
00:00:27
product you're used for the bment of
00:00:29
something El else I think that there's a
00:00:31
lot of bad behavior from people that are
00:00:33
supposed to be nurturing people teaching
00:00:35
people and looking out for them I don't
00:00:37
like that side of it I haven't talked
00:00:39
about it as much like this so openly
00:00:41
before but it hurts me when I think
00:00:45
about those times and it hurts me to
00:00:49
think that there are people still being
00:00:50
treated like in their jobs we
00:00:52
should be past that
