A true storyteller/columnist never follows the crowd. Good idea @billoram

Stories without readers are nothing. Thanks for reading and supporting
Stories matter. Journalism matters. That’s why I support paying *human* writers real wages reflective of their contributions to bottom lines AND society ✊🏽✊🏽
