Over the last 6 months, @realdavesommer@SElizabethHahn & I have been hard at work. Through this fund, @instagram partnered w @UNWTO on “See The World Through My Eyes” where we trained over a dozen creators around the 🌎 to become tourism ambassadors for their hometowns.
We’re sharing an update on our XR Programs & Research Fund, a $50M investment to help us build for the metaverse responsibly. We’ve worked together with more than a dozen organizations, experts and academic institutions around the globe.

When I started @Airbnb, @jgebbia came & personally welcomed our entire orientation class to the company. He left us with excitement, inspiration and an open door to reach out with any ideas we had to make Airbnb a better place. Best of luck in all the adventures that lie ahead!

Training and empowering young people, we will be able to transform tourism and build a sector that is ready to provide solutions to the biggest challenges facing our economies and societies.
I’m heartbroken to learn of the passing of @madeleine. A fellow immigrant and refugee, I was inspired by the way she broke barriers for women, fought for democracy and led with passion for years before I had the honor of meeting her. (1/)
There, I got to observe her leadership and commitment to democracy and funny enough, got to translate a hair appointment for her where she kept asking for “volume! volume”. She will forever be an inspiration.
My statement on the passing of Madeleine Albright—one of the finest Secretaries of State, an outstanding UN Ambassador, a brilliant professor, and an extraordinary human being.
As the first woman to serve as America’s top diplomat, Madeleine Albright was a champion for democratic values. Michelle and I send our thoughts to the Albright family and everyone who knew and served with a truly remarkable woman.
On Monday, Instagram will be blocked in Russia. This decision will cut 80 million in Russia off from one another, and from the rest of the world as ~80% of people in Russia follow an Instagram account outside their country. This is wrong.
We have received requests from a number of Governments and the EU to take further steps in relation to Russian state controlled media. Given the exceptional nature of the current situation, we will be restricting access to RT and Sputnik across the EU at this time.
