Quotes
a professional troublemaker.
What is a professional troublemaker, you ask?
A professional troublemaker is not the person who brings chaos into the midst of any room they are in. That person is a troll. A professional troublemaker is not someone who insists on speaking to hurt feelings. That person is a hater. A professional troublemaker is not someone who wants to disagree with people just because they wanna play devil’s advocate. That person is a contrarian, and Satan never told anyone he needed a supervisor, so I’m not sure why so many people volunteer for the position.
A professional troublemaker is someone who critiques the world, the shoddy systems, and the people who refuse to do better. As a writer, a speaker, and a shady Nigerian, I am the person who is giving the side-eye to folks for doing trash things. I am the person who is unable to be quiet when I feel cheated. I am the person who says what you are
thinking and feeling but dare not say because you have a job to protect, or you’re afraid of how it will land. I even wrote a whole book called I’m Judging You: The Do-Better Manual. A book that I TRUST you’ve read by now. If you haven’t, well, I’m judging you. *Clears throat.*
While a professional troublemaker isn’t someone who manufactures chaos or crises, they do understand that chaos can come from being honest and authentic and going against the tide. Because in a world that insists on our cooperation even in the face of perpetual turmoil, not standing for it makes you a rebel. Professional troublemakers deal with it because they have a cause. They are often sharp tongued and misunderstood but always golden hearted. A professional troublemaker is committed to speaking the truth and showing up always as themselves, and is almost unable to bow in the face of a world that demands it.
