AI isn’t just changing the tech world — it’s changing who gets a shot at success. With nothing more than a WiFi connection, everyday Americans can now access tools that used to be reserved for the elite. But without bold legislation, that access could vanish just as quickly. This post breaks down how AI empowers the underdog — and why Congress must act now to keep the playing field level.

Inspired by Taylor Swift’s “You’re On Your Own, Kid,” this personal essay explores what it means to grow up between identities, chase validation, and ultimately find strength in standing alone. From Upstate New York roots to New York City reinvention, I reflect on love, loss, career, and voice — and how everything I thought I needed was already within me.

Let’s be real: AI isn’t some fringe tool anymore. It’s not just for tech bros, coders, or sci-fi nerds. It’s in your inbox, your group chat, your social feed. It’s quietly writing blog posts, captions, emails, job applications — and yes, probably half the tweets claiming it’s “ruining writing.”

Now we see it clearly: the money is already there. The only thing missing is the will to act.

We only need the courage to admit that the real solution is not walls or open borders. It is something higher, harder, and more human.

And it is time we built it.

The story of Wicked is ultimately about perception, power, and the way history is shaped by those who control the narrative. In the current U.S. political climate, Donald Trump and Kamala Harris can be compared to Elphaba and Glinda—not necessarily in their personal values, but in how they are treated by the political establishment and media. Trump, like Elphaba, is vilified despite believing he is fighting against corruption, while Harris, like Glinda, benefits from an existing system that rewards compliance and optics over true challenges to power.
