@KristyT @sistacirclebwit @ava @MichelleObama @AuroraJames Lol. I asked my sister @karlamickens to connect us a while ago.

[Brian Lovin @brian_lovin]

The final conversation is now live on @staffdotdesign! This week I dug in with @karlamickens to talk about defining boundaries, embracing mentorship, and recognizing the trade-offs of leveling up.

My sis is a vibe. Def. one to watch.

[Karla @karlamickens]

I can't tell you how excited (and nervous) I am about joining @browsercompany!! But the people, the product and quite frankly the whole process made this a very easy decision for me.

Everything just felt right!

Can film play a part in addressing Black maternal health? On Nov 6 we chat about this with Keri Shahidi. Keri and her daughter @YaraShahidi of #Blackish created a production company #7thSun in partnership with ABC. Register: https://t.co/4ZncSBVI7I

2020 is the Twilight Zone Rod Sterling was talking about. We’ve jumped all the way in.

Who knows an eng or supervisor @zara who can escalate this?

[Whitney @freshlygiven]

Customer service is running me thru the ringer. And my bank is hesitant to resolve until they know which transaction is correct.

Lots of design debate over the weekend. There is only one thing I want to add. I have worked with @karlamickens for four years and on top of being one of the most positive people I have ever encountered she is also a supremely talented and conscientious designer.

[Whitney @freshlygiven]

@mclemoremr Love this! And I KNOW you had great answers.

[Whitney @freshlygiven]

❤️ @goabstract. Thank you for the love.

@mclemoremr 🔥

[Whitney @freshlygiven]

The opportunities for innovation around maternal health are long overdue. We can do this 💪🏿

[Whitney @freshlygiven]

@EricaJoy I’m hosting hack-a-thons inviting WOC to improve maternal health outcomes for WOC. A room full of tech/non tech minds solving real issues.

[Whitney @freshlygiven]

@karlamickens I. can. not. I really tried not to bust out laughing.

[Whitney @freshlygiven]

I looked at my kids and said “it’s happening!” Thank you for caring and sharing your time with me. I am grateful.
