Do you work for the brand Astroglide or are you more like a sponsored spokesperson/rep? Like... What do you do for them, and them for you? Is it like having a special faculty position at a university? Or is it more like being a sponsored pro athlete?

It's ok to leave out sensitive details about your job and personal life. Not here to pick those apart.

I'm interested in how educated professionals like yourself approach representing brand(s) vs being affiliated with institutions. Has your career path been typical of other peers in your field?

Thanks. You're doing great!

What did you experience in terms of real, compassionate concern for you and your needs/wants during those traumatic years? Were you able to connect with anyone or anything that helped ease your anxieties and loneliness and suffering? (Like maybe one or both parents, a social worker, a judge, a bureaucrat, an animal, other children, etc.)

Second question. Nothing to do with the ama, but I ask it often of people. Are you bilingual? If so... What do you find to be the main differences between speaking modern continental French and new world French (Quebecois, Cajun, Acadian, etc.)?
