Thought I’d better explain the name change… 13.11.2021 ❤️

@HelReynolds Happening to me too! Go to settings, general, keyboards, text replacement, and add some shortcuts. Solves it straight away!

Totally not comms-related, just sharing that I’ve recently released a new collection of prints ❤️ https://t.co/LB7PA9itvi

Banked with @HalifaxBank for years since I had a children’s account; have my mortgage with them too. Just had a lovely call from one of their advisors- they’re proactively reaching out to their customers to check in with them ahead of lockdown and offer financial advice ❤️

@BBCPolitics Big up @MollyABennett for getting the first “booooo” in 😂

@MikeShawLD @centrepointuk @EmeraldGlobal @Emerald_Works Donated but via Alice’s JustGiving. Great job 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[Zara Von Wade CIIC (She/Her) @ICZaraB]

@MikeShawLD I am, very much! They get particularly grumpy, however, on days where I’m in a pub, meaning they don’t get their daily dose of banana at 2pm like they’re used to 🤣

[Zara Von Wade CIIC (She/Her) @ICZaraB]

@Advita_p All done, thank you!

[Zara Von Wade CIIC (She/Her) @ICZaraB]

@sanna_zahoor That sounds like an amazing day!

[Zara Von Wade CIIC (She/Her) @ICZaraB]

That’s a wrap on working at Emerald! 😭❤️ I have loved every minute of working there for the last 2 years. If you want somewhere that puts people first & constantly thrives to make a real impact, then Emerald is the place for you. 💕 Now, onto my next adventure, starting Tuesday!

I really want @Lin_Manuel to make a musical about 2020. Because then he would have to reference the Hamilton phase of lockdown. iNcEpTiOn! 👀

[Zara Von Wade CIIC (She/Her) @ICZaraB]

Fantastic listening and watching the sessions as part of @PoppuloSays Bootcamp today. Lots learned already!

[Zara Von Wade CIIC (She/Her) @ICZaraB]

@HelReynolds Fellow comms weirdo right here! Totally relate to that professional persona not fitting right 😂

[Zara Von Wade CIIC (She/Her) @ICZaraB]

Like 2020 wasn’t bad enough, I’ve just discovered the author of my favourite childhood books is a TERF (Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist). And during Pride month too. 🖕🏼

‘People who menstruate.’ I’m sure there used to be a word for those people. Someone help me out. Wumben? Wimpund? Woomud?

Today is a day to hit pause, stop, reflect. Talk to family & friends. Listen, read, absorb other peoples voices. Have difficult conversations about race & what it means to be human. I won’t forget what I learn and I won’t stop learning. ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿 #blackouttuesday

@martinflegg Felt it was important to maintain BAU comms to keep the sense of routine and togetherness.
