@MaggieMacKenzi4 And you have to be available outside of work hours.

I grew to 40k+ followers in 11 months by helping people.

It's the golden ticket to quick + valuable growth.

Here are 17 ways you can build authority while building others up:

@MaggieMacKenzi4 “Here’s a director role.”

With a entry-level salary.

I believe that even a theatre manager juggling sixteen other priorities can single-handedly turn their company's website into an awesome force that attracts your audience, generates interest in what you do and sells tickets.

As long as you know what to focus on improving.

When clients are overwhelmed about info you’re giving and start to tune out, you’ve probably not done a good enough job telling them why they need this: what problem does it solve or what does it allow them to do?

When you do that well, they get energized and get itching to go.

But unfortunately he didn’t. Maybe #Oppenheimer will still be good. But it’s a part of a growing work that shows a consistent narrative:

Nolan only tells his stories for people who look like him.

[[email protected] @thgage]

Who in this planet has Oppenheimer not affected, unfortunately? Nolan could have chosen to shed a light on a very different perspective.

He could have stretched himself, empowered women of colour and told a masterful story.

3. They empower us. Drop a comment on social questioning the diversity in Oppenheimer and you can see exactly who Nolan has empowered through his choice of which narrative and perspectives to curate.

[[email protected] @thgage]

That’s interesting when it’s a voice that’s been quieted historically. Because it’s a sign that there can be space for diversity.

But when it’s the powerful, the privileged, the dominant cultural voices saying “you don’t belong in this space” that’s a different context.

2. They create our world. We are the stories we tell. Stories that marginalized women and people of colour turn us into people who are comfortable marginalizing women and people of colour. “This is not your story. This is not for you.”

[[email protected] @thgage]

But secondly and far more importantly, stories do 3 very important things:

1. They reflect our world. And it’s increasingly concerning how unimportant women and people of colour are to Nolan’s world.

[[email protected] @thgage]

Why is it an issue that Nolan pretty much only tells the story of white dudes, through the eyes of white dudes, using only a bunch of white dudes?

Well first of all Nolan’s a great filmmaker and I’m sure other people would like to feel invited to the party.

[[email protected] @thgage]

BIPOC people fare no better in Nolan epics.

Of course people will “yeah but John David Washington in Tenet”—so shall we do the math of how many white dudes have shown up in his films and then have a debate?

And when we’re done with that, let’s do the math for non-white women…

[[email protected] @thgage]

Even in Interstellar, where it seemed like it was Murph’s story we were watching, the big reveal is that it’s her dad’s and that she only exists as a supporting character in HIS story.

[[email protected] @thgage]

But Nolan also has a record of past films. And those show an unfortunate pattern when it comes to the perspectives that he chooses not only to centre but to include.

Women, if they exist, tend to be killed off and used to motivate the white male protagonist.
