You are the
Translator/Remixer
You have a passion for delving into research, analyzing ideas, and presenting them to the masses through your unique perspective.
​
Trevor Noah exemplifies this approach on The Daily Show, skillfully bringing us the news.
​
But, you don't have to be an extrovert - or on tv - like Trevor.
​
Academics and writers are often "Translators." Notably, Cherríe Moraga and Gloria E. Anzaldúa demonstrated their expertise while editing the anthology "This Bridge Called My Back: Writings by Radical Women of Color" that amplified the voices of feminists of Color as well as their own.
​
Closer to home, Femily, the founder of Future Thought Leader, showcases her "translation" abilities by illustrating anti-oppression concepts, and by discussing deep data and research in a pop culture context, like at SXSW.
​
If you enjoy re-mixing, analyzing, contextualizing, and/or amplifying others' research and/or ideas, consider launching a platform where you can add your own spin to the conversations happening within your area of passion/focus.
​
This could take the form of a podcast, a written or video interview series, a journalism project, or even a curated anthology.
You could explore avenues like a paid newsletter on platforms like Substack.
