Reviews
Wise people always say, “Never be the smartest person in the room,” so we’ve got that covered!! I’m not an industry expert.

The blogs blend humor, storytelling, and insightful commentary to make complex topics approachable. I attend events and document what is said (and not said).
“What they said” is written in WHITE and “what I’m thinking” in PINK/PURPLE. You can read the full blog, just the white, or just the pink. Boom!
Pain on Purpose: Does Big Pharma Endorse Evasive Discomfort to Instrument Industry Compliance?
TLDR: Kelly attends a pharma industry awards dinner and grows suspicious of the event's design -- excessive wine, emotionally heavy speeches about rare diseases, and an award recipient who thanks his FDA "wording team" -- questioning whether the setup is engineered to manufacture compliance.
Flustered with Finance + Neurodivergency (E. Week, Day 3)
TLDR: A double-feature day where Kelly passionately challenges a financial influencer's ETF-heavy advice as systemically harmful to retail investors, followed by an empowering neurodivergency workshop exploring empathy types, sensory experiences, and self-advocacy.
Ai in Global Edtech Leadership
TLDR: Kelly volunteered to emcee at a multi-day AI education leadership conference, covering topics like K-12 surveillance, student data privacy, behavior prediction AI, accessibility, and tablets for toddlers, while navigating the event's high price tag by signing up as a volunteer.

Retail Investors IRL: Activism for a Transparent Stock Market
TLDR: Kelly flies to Ft. Lauderdale for Bill Pulte's retail investor conference, documenting the GameStop/BBBY/MMTLP community's fight against naked short selling, market manipulation, and regulatory failures while building real-world activist connections.
