"There is always someone out there to help you or is struggling like you. Reach out to others because the mathematical community is larger and more diverse than you think and there is someone who can support you, and you them."
Kind of reminds me of something I wrote many moons ago: "our community is like a blue police box; it’s bigger on the inside." (Who doesn't like a random Doctor Who reference?)
Some cool quotes from

"mathematics is probably the closest we could ever get to really talking to God. That’s why I decided to study it."
"My doctoral advisor said all the energy you’re spending fighting to belong in a system that doesn’t accept you would be better used to help you thrive by finding your own way."
I thought this was worth the read and want everyone else to read it too, especially math folks:
