As an artist, I take on many projects for the love of art. When I am paid for speaking events, a portion is donated back into nonprofits. When my writing is published, it is generally with indie publishers and projects I care about. Many people in the education field will explain the importance of sharing work despite monetary obstacles. I support NPOs and VSOs (and some GSOs) with interests in sharing authentic voices. It is also important to create a sense of community, so I try my best to align my project with groups who do not promote destructive rhetoric (what happened to Salmar Rushdie is inexcusable). I believe art should challenge society to tackle the dangers facing our world. The biggest obstacles facing us in this AI era is the digital erasure happening on a massive scale. We must have the courage to create art which speaks about intersectionality and works to ensure dystopian landscapes are merely works of fiction. We do not meet our challenges by banning and burning books. Squelching free speech isn't the answer."
