⚠️ Webpage Trigger Warning
Some parts of this website talk about workplace harassment, discrimination, suicide, abuse, and being silenced through NDAs.
These topics can be heavy and may bring up difficult feelings.
Please take care of yourself while reading. It’s okay to pause. It’s okay to step away. And it’s okay to ask for support.
