Where Have I Been.
Angel Elliott
Well...
Title change, investigative journalist. Delving into the social and systemic reasons why society functions the way it does can take you to the deepest, darkest recesses of humanity that you wouldn't think, or want to think, exist. Every new job you take opens something new in you than the previous, it challenges you in a different way and makes you look at yourself in a different light. This one has made me understand that my mission is bigger than me - it's made me reflect on my mission as a journalist and a person.
I want to do more than write and report... I want to edify and sustain, I want to open eyes - and be the bridge to cultures and people, societies, countries... And in order to do that it will take a focus and ambition in me that's been a little reticent in the past. I now understand that revolutionary change has to start with self-transformation - and reflection. Dissent from social dogma is essential, and that basically means not giving a sh*t what people think, which is of course, easier said than done.
So, to answer the question, I've been working, and in truth I've been on a journey of sorts. I hope to update more because this site is my baby. Hope you all are well, happy Monday.
