INTERPRETER
Stay Melanated Over Interpreter.
Because interpreting is what you do, but your identity is part of what you bring into every space. Your culture, lived experience, and professionalism do not exist separately. They show up together.
Step into every assignment knowing you do not have to minimize one part of yourself to validate another. Your Blackness belongs in the profession. Your expertise deserves recognition.
Wear it boldly. Wear it proudly. Wear it as a reminder that you can honor your identity while honoring the work you do.
