“That’s what happens to me. And this loop is really frightening because all I do is think repeatedly about and replay all the things that I’m most terrified of,” she said. “And one of those things is the idea of my mortality and the mortality of those that I love. And one of the mind loops I was in had me aging really rapidly.”
She went on to say that when she asked her friends whether she looked old, a friend pointed out that that’s seemingly been on Rae’s subconscious, “getting old generally and feeling like time is running out.” The fears, she explained, proved to be a motivating factor for her work creating inclusive content reflecting diverse voices.
“I’m asked about amplifying underrepresented voices and diversity all the time. And one of the questions I get often and frequently struggle to answer is, ‘Why is it so important to you to give opportunities and open doors for others who look like you?’, ” Rae said. “But now I think it’s all about time. I’m obsessed with the time that I have left and a small window that I have to make the changes that I want to see before I hopefully get old and die.
“We met on a small digital shoot back in 2011 and became really fast friends when we realized how much we had in common in our industry pursuits,” Rae said. “And she was always very intentional and aware of time and made the absolute most of it.”
