"This is not criticism but feedback. I want to say your account name does not portray the incredible strength you portrayed. This is hardcore and you've got incredible strength, please lean into that, it would stand you out rather than the generic soft branding, rooting for you. The branding perception of "soft" due to accumulated trends on the word removes experience, expertise and tenaciousness of people's stories. Hence, for controlling your story and narratives, it's positions of the depth of strength and wealth of knowledge you've accumulated."
