Ask or the answer is always no.
If we don’t ask, nobody is going to give it to us.
Promote ourselves.
If we don’t promote ourselves, nobody else is going to promote us.
It doesn’t matter who we are and what we do if others don’t know about us.
Put ourselves out there. Ask for what we want. Promote ourselves. And do it confidently, courageously, and shamelessly. It’s our duty.
