For Neo's Grandmother, all grandmothers...
He Made This Video for a Woman Who Raised Him to Speak Up
When Neo sat down to record this video, we can imagine what he was thinking.
He was probably thinking about what she would say, what she would tell him.
He was thinking about his grandmother.
Someone who would want him to remember who he is — in honor of who she was.
Who helped him read between the lines.
Who would’ve told him in this moment… “Speak louder.”
He made this video for her.
And for every elder who poured truth into us — before we had microphones, platforms, or followers.
We’re 30 paid subscribers away from hitting our goal this week.
And every single one of you counts beyond words.
What happens if we don’t hit this goal this week?
We will keep going, for her. For all grandmothers.
For the people who were kept silent all throughout our history, and the people who are afraid of being silenced right now.
Every subscription means we can keep telling stories that matter — not to the algorithm, but to us. To you — the voices that will make sure the stories matter to more than the people and the real-time events we report about.
This moment is for you too.
Please consider your level and help us close the gap:
This one’s for her.
And for everyone raised to fight back.

NEO - So sorry to hear of your grandmother transitioning. As a grandmother and great-grandmother, I only hope my offspring will be as strong as you are.
Thanks for being the person to keep us informed. I think I paid for my subscription last week, and I only wish I could do more because I believe in the dissemination of truth. THANKS TO THE STAFF for all you do. SPD
