OUR GOLDEN RULE// Be twice as good in everything you do. We are taught this early in life, but what if our counterparts adopted a similar rule - be twice as kind, thoughtful, and peaceful to Black and brown people?

WE ARE MORE THAN JUST OUR SKIN TONE// “To assume that every Black person has the skills and desire and knowledge for D.E.I work is tokenization.”

MKTG// "It’s no longer enough to simply put out a press release for two weeks a year then ignore the conversation for the other 50. If you want to be culturally diverse, you need to thoroughly invest in the cause." #diversity #inclusive #represent https://t.co/9qO78KEZ8R

MKTG// What is a brand without "Likes?"
Social media's contribution to societies mental health challenges could mean brands and influencers may soon be searching for more effective ways to measure real engagement.

Looking forward to this one. @AllThingsMitch

Literally delivered a @TEDTalks on using content to design culture in front of 2K+ people.

Purpose is a powerful thing.

Never underestimate the power of your perspective.

Believe in your vision and always show up for it in the big moments.
