I once had an editor back at Forbes tell me these words: “Pressure is a privilege.” At the time, I wasn’t really feeling that notion—how could it be a privilege to feel all the things pressure carries (stress, anxiety, imposter syndrome, etc.)? It took me some time to realize what he meant, but not until more than a year later, when I settled into my role as Sweet July’s managing editor.

About Face is a column about how someone changed their mind. Knuckle crackers, close talkers, know-it-alls, busybodies, conspiracy theorists, flakes, slobs, snobs, oversharers, complainers. Annoying people are unavoidable—right? Wrong. I know, because I managed to cull and curate my social circle until the only people who remained were those who I loved, admired and cherished.

I am four years old. One of my earliest memories is the feeling of my mother combing my curls with her fingers, the rhythmic tug, tension, and release as she braided my hair, the scent of almond and peppermint hair dress on her palms, and the sense, as she held my head in her hands, of being connected at the roots. But when I play this memory back, I realize that I’ve misremembered. It was not my mother braiding my hair, but my aunt.
