Not that I owe you an explanation, but just your response to me choosing to do as I wish with my own time is indicative of why I would never consider a collaboration with you. I saw your rejection of Rebecca Stephens so I knew this was not a good fit for me or my desire to maintain my desired level of peace.
As a Black woman who writes in predominately White male spaces, I take every precaution to protect my energy because it is extremely combative with no desire to create resolution. Those efforts are fruitless and time is of the essence to save my people. Again, there are many other writers on Medium. I am not the only one. Good luck with your search.
