Life is never what we expect or plan for.

And this journey with PFP has been exactly that. When I set out to create this platform, I wanted to make something different - something with different ways of assessing value, different ways of approaching problems to find better solutions, different in how we treat people within the organization, different in scope and ambition. Something that could truly align with what it will take for us to come together and lift people up in ways that sustain and effect long term improvements for all.

I’ve known from the start that my ambitions are lofty and seem impossible. But there was also a time when creating light without fire also seemed lofty and impossible - and just look at us now. Things won’t and don’t get better for anyone unless we lean hard into the yolk and set our sights for the top of the mountain.

The trajectory of the PFP journey has been one that is common, but not with a common ending. We had a very quick interest and engagement, but not the human power nor financial support to sustain. Plus, all the other human challenges that can come along with a group of people trying to govern as one. Throughout this process, I have held my ground as the primary maternal figure to this enterprise, and I have learned many lessons along the way.

Now, the dust has settled and rather than PFP being crumpled up and tossed in the bin, it is rising from the ash. If you have been around here before, you’d remember us as PerfectlyFlawed Productions. Now, to clear the slate and move forward with clear purpose and governance, PFP is called PerfectlyFlawed People.

This is my own company now and I’ve adopted a bit of a different approach so that we may one day reach many of the goals we had originally set.

I want to work with other folks like me who are dedicated to making this world better in any way the opportunity presents itself. I also want to be sure to honor my own capacities and career ambitions. My role now is as the lead director to the projects which PFP takes on.

I write proposals for projects, secure the project contract, then contract project contributors with fair compensation, and lead the project all the way to the finish line.

The beauty of this model is that anyone can sign up to be a potential contributor. If the page isn’t available on this site yet, it will be quite soon but look for a page here called “Become a PFP Contributor”. This is where folks can sign up to be on the contact list for new and existing projects. When we are hiring for a project, we will always offer the work to our contributor network first. That of course assumes job fit and qualifications to carry out that particular project.

One of my biggest struggles in life is needing freedom in more areas of my life than others and a true inability to stay still or stuck in one place for too long. I’ve learned to accept this about myself and stop searching for that one thing that will grant me the life changing and stabilizing magic of a singular career niche.

My superpowers lie in project work. My neurodivergent way of functioning is to hyperfocus, strive for perfection, complete the thing, soak it in, then rest and recover before looking to the next thing to do. This is probably the biggest reason why I’m looking to attract other neurodivergent people as contributors of all kinds - because I know what it is like to be exceptionally good at something but unable to function within the traditional format of employment required for keeping a long-term well-paying job.

So, I’m writing proposals that allow folks in my community to freelance their work with compensation that reflects their real value in the process and freedom to do their job in the way that works best for them.

I am someone who refuses to give up because I will find a viable way forward, even if it cannot yet be seen. So, here I stand, one woman continuing to forge her own path and working to pave it for others. I hope you’ll join me!
