Not every conversation is public.
Some of the most meaningful ones happen quietly. At the kitchen table, on a phone call, or in moments of honest listening.
Starting a conversation counts, even when no one else sees it.
Private is valid.

That we had to be exceptional just to be seen as capable.
This isn’t about competition. It’s about survival inside systems that didn’t offer the same margin for error.

Access to transportation isn’t just about getting from point A to point B. It shapes where we can work, learn, and show up for our communities. When transit systems don’t reach everyone equally, the impact is felt every day in missed opportunities and longer journeys.
