The Millennial Compatriot is an ‘elder millennial’ perspective on politics, economics, media, society, and government from the angle of public advocacy.

The Author

Socialized in a melting pot of race, ethnicity, citizenship, sexual orientation, and ability, amidst abuse, neglect, misogyny, racism, addiction, drugs, gangs, violence, food insecurity, theft, depression, anxiety, desperation, and survival – a direct witness to multiple acts of abuse of power by authority figures, and the overall failures of government and institutions to help people in need, the author was able to formulate a unique perspective.

Starting off at a high school that could have been the inspiration for the book / movie Dangerous Minds, the author had an existential reckoning one summer while attending an away camp for disadvantaged and disabled youth. Within months, the author auditioned for and was admitted to a high school for Visual and Performing Arts, where they would write plays, perform, and study Theatre Arts.

Earning a Bachelors Degree in Sociology and Criminal Justice, with a Minor in Public Law, the author was better able to understand and articulate the intersection of government, identity, socialization, economics, law, and justice.

While earning a Masters Degree, the author learned about management and organization, and was able to identify how psychology and sociology were used to build brands and influence people.

The author is dedicated to continued learning, especially in the subjects of sociology, history, philosophy, political science, law, economics, and media – its history, finance structure, ownership, and relationship with politics and business. They are passionate about education, writing, and the arts as a means of social, cultural, economic, and political education. They are also a strong advocate for social and economic justice and equity.

The author served as a Democratic Party Committeeman for four years, however they are no longer associated with the Party. Given their own experiences and continued political education, they now advocate for becoming untethered from the two party monopoly on political power in the United States. They are now focusing instead on advocating for revolutionary systems changes, to better serve public interests.
