Before going into any details, I want to say that I don't consider myself on the level of MLK. I simply couldn't find any good pictures of me speaking. Moving on. Honestly, I wouldn't say I like public speaking. Lectures specifically. I'm fine with doing panels and workshops, but lectures are a problem. I've done nearly 40 lectures between 2020 and 2023, and each time I have a panic attack. I've never had a panic attack in my entire life until I started public speaking. However, I've realized that no matter how much I hate it, people seem inspired by my story. I've learned that my story is a survival guide meant to be shared. ¶
