"I'm not just an agenda"

Portuguese translation: Não sou apenas uma causa

Government / Politics
English term or phrase: "I'm not just an agenda"
It's from a political activist giving tips on how to talk politics to other people. He suggests you need to show your personality and, as a result, you are not just an agenda. I understand he wants to be seen and recognized for more than his political activism? Having trouble conveying this idea into Portuguese tho. It's for a subtitle, so it needs to be concise as well.

Não sou apenas um discurso


Explanation:
In Communications we have agenda setting to refer to the capacity of the media to determine what the public sphere is going to discuss. On the other hand, each political agent is supposed to carry an agenda of their own, but in Portuguese the word 'discurso' could fit better. We say 'discurso panfletário' for someone who wants to impose an agenda, for example.
