This Isn’t a Brand. This Is a Rebellion.

How ADHD and Queerness Got Me Pushed Out—And Why That’s the Best Damn Thing That Ever Happened


ree

Hi. I’m Brensley.I’m queer. I’m neurodivergent. I’m loud. I’m kind. I’m powerful. I cry a lot. I lead with heart.I don’t do small talk. I’m allergic to “normal.”And I got pushed out of job after job because of all of it.

Spoiler alert: I was never the problem.The system is.


Let’s Talk About Being "Too Much"

I’ve been told I was:

  • too loud

  • too emotional

  • too intense

  • too scatterbrained

  • too excited

  • too chaotic

  • too passionate

  • too soft

  • too opinionated

  • too weird

  • too “creative” (yes, even in creative industries)


Meanwhile, I was carrying teams, building community, and creating powerful, soul-level experiences.I showed up—fully.

And still, one spiral, one statement too honest, one outfit too queer—and suddenly, I was “a liability.” “Unreliable.” “Not a good fit.”

Let me be clear:I’m not hard to work with.

I’m hard to exploit.


The ADHD of It All

My brain doesn’t do quiet. It does fireworks.I process like an orchestra warming up during a thunderstorm.I have 1,000 tabs open—in my browser and in my head.

But I see things. I make things. I make people feel.

Corporate systems don’t measure that.They call it disorganized. Distracting. Difficult.

But you know what I really am?

Brilliant. Brave. And fucking unstoppable.


Let’s Talk About Queerness in the Workplace

I don’t closet myself for comfort.I don’t straighten my hair or my truth.I don’t code-switch to survive anymore.

And that makes people nervous. Because I don’t assimilate.I liberate.

My queerness isn’t a trend. It’s the lens I build from.And unless it’s quiet, palatable, marketable—they don’t want it. But that’s not why I came here.


I Got Pushed Out—Then I Woke the F*ck Up

I’ve been fired.I’ve been excluded.I’ve been broken down by systems that never

deserved my brilliance.

But now?

I’m building my own damn banquet. With mismatched chairs. On a lava lamp table.


In outer space.


I’m not asking for a seat anymore.


I’m throwing the glitter-covered blueprint on the table and saying:

Watch me. Or join me. But either way—I’m rising.

This isn’t a business.It’s a survival strategy turned into an art form.
