Even though MAID is just my story, I hope that readers will start seeing the estimated 60 million Americans who are working so hard just to make ends meet.
There is a myth in this country that if you work hard, play by the rules, and pull yourself up by the bootstraps, you’ll make it. For those who believe that myth, they also believe that if you’re not making it, you’re simply not working hard enough. But the math doesn’t add up when we’re still fighting for a $15 minimum wage, and estimates say a single parent would need to make at least $30 an hour to make ends meet, or work 140 hours a week at a minimum wage job.
I aim to continue raising my voice, speaking up for the invisible people who are struggling to survive like I did.
Please feel free to look around, contact me with questions, or inquire about interviews, articles, speaking or teaching opportunities.
Thank you for listening, and for being here.
