“Protecting your time isn’t just about avoiding distractions; it’s about carving out the space necessary to focus fully on building the life you envision. In a society that stacks the deck, time becomes both a shield and a weapon, wielded with precision to navigate systems that demand twice the effort for half the recognition. Marginalized individuals must spend time dismantling biases, proving their worth, and creating opportunities where none exist. For them, time is not just about ambition—it is about survival. Every moment claimed is a chance to rewrite a narrative that was never meant to include them, a moment to say, I belong here. For the marginalized, time is unfairly taxed, yet it is paid willingly because the cost of not fighting is far too great.” — Nisan Ahmado
