Unfortunately, that wasn’t intentional, it was reactionary. --- ### No Bullies For the past several years, a former business associate has engaged in a sustained and coordinated online attack campaign against me. That has included false statements, impersonation-style accounts, fake profiles, blog posts, tagging campaigns, and repeated attempts to interfere with my professional relationships. It has been persistent. It has been relentless. And at times, it has been exhausting. I made a decision during that period to limit my public output. Not because the claims were true. Not because I was afraid to defend myself. But because I refused to turn my professional platforms into a public courtroom. ### I will not argue with anonymous accounts. ### I will not debate harassment campaigns. ### I will not perform outrage for clicks.   I also will not continue to remain silent. Because pulling back also meant something else. It meant: - Fewer ideas shared. - Fewer conversations started. - Fewer resources published. - Less leadership content for the people who actually benefit from it. And that part isn’t aligned with who I am. --- ### The Truth Tells Itself I will always address everything with the level of transparency that I expect from others. The claims circulating about me are false. They do not reflect my character, my leadership history, or the work I’ve delivered over nearly two decades in technology, project leadership, and executive strategy. If you have worked with me, partnered with me, hired me, or seen me lead in high-stakes environments, you already know that. ### I believe in saying what is true. ### I believe in clear expectations. ### I believe that credibility is built over time through consistent action, not online theatrics. Kind Transparency has never been about being soft. It does not require overexplaining or appeasing. It has always meant clarity with accountability. We focus on removing assumptions and communicating directly so problems get solved out in the open instead of being buried. - Consistency matters because trust compounds. - Clarity matters because confusion creates friction. - Good leadership requires both. Silence can be strategic in moderation. But, it should not become permanent. So this is me closing that chapter. You can expect clear, consistent communication from me again. Regular publishing. Honest takes. Practical tools. Leadership perspective rooted in experience, not performance. If you encounter inflammatory or impersonation-based content about me online, I encourage you to evaluate the credibility of the source. If you have questions, you can ask me directly. ### I have never hidden from hard conversations. You can always contact me: [HERE](https://www.kindtransparency.com/contact-us) What I will not do is allow harassment to dictate whether I create, lead, or speak. The work continues. ### And I’m back. Amanda Frye CEO | Author | Speaker ---   ## Amanda Frye ## Ready to Transform your Business with Little Effort Using Brightlane?
