“So, when I have those moments of doubt, or imposter syndrome, when I’m wondering if I’m really cut out for this, I can reflect on the fact that I’ve been able to get where I am in large part due to my own hard work and my own ingenuity and creativity.”

“Once I switched my focus to targeted pitching, networking within my niche and reaching out to people who already trusted my work, the project load became steadier and the pay rates increased.”

“I know that my creative-mindedness is only part of Tacoma’s collaborative efforts for change, but no one piece of the puzzle is unimportant. We all have something to bring to the table, and the resourcefulness of creatives is integral in connecting the diversity of tactics used in advancing equity efforts.” - Jam Scott
