Computer literacy is still at a decline for previously disadvantaged groups. Its okay to fail, Its a learning curve. Curiosity will lead you to your wildest dreams and accomplishments. Passion and ability are different aspects. Just cause you can, it doesn't mean you have to do it. There is power in collaboration. Authenticity and humility keeps your longevity in the creative industry.
