Little Aaron Would Be Proud
I was meant to defend people in court. Now I’m defending truth itself—and I need your help to do it.
I have a heartfelt message to share tonight—one that brought me back to where it all began.
Not long ago, I spoke to a room full of middle and high school students. We talked about truth, power, and what it means to stand up for others. Then, a student asked me a question I’ll never forget: “Did you see yourself doing this work when you were our age?”
In that moment, I flashed back to 12-year-old me—the same kid who couldn’t (and still can’t) ice skate.
I didn’t know it back then, but the path I would take would lead me here: speaking truth to power, even when it’s uncomfortable, even when it’s dangerous. And lately, it has been dangerous. The more I uncover, the more those in power push back—hard. I’m receiving threats. I’m being targeted. But I won’t stop. And if you believe this work matters, I need your support. Please consider subscribing today so I can keep going—stronger, safer, and independent.
The truth is, I never imagined doing this work. I didn’t go to journalism school.
I wasn’t trained to be a reporter. I wanted to be a public defender—in a courtroom, defending people who couldn’t defend themselves.
That’s why I started college at 14. That’s why I graduated at 18. That’s why I went to law school and became one of the youngest graduates in the country at 21. Every step I took was rooted in a belief: that using my voice could help others.
That same belief is what fuels me now.
So no, I may not be cross-examining witnesses in a courtroom, but I am still advocating—just in a different way. And I think little Aaron would be proud of that. If you’re reading this and believe in what I’m trying to build—truthful, fearless, people-first journalism—then join me.
Subscribe, share, and stand with me in this work. Because I can’t do it alone.
I share your message daily with people who won’t be seeing your information on MSM Thank you for what you do. And that young little guy named Aaron would be very pleased with what he sees. 👍🏼
You are adorable! Your parents must be so proud!
