Extremely disappointed to see my work used and altered without my permission by @ayushsoni_io as branding material for a venture capital company.
About a year ago, he reached out asking to collaborate. We had a few initial conversations, but ultimately didn’t reach an agreement and decided not to move forward together. Despite that, my work has now been used without my consent.
Given his large following on Twitter, I think it’s important to call this out publicly, and I would strongly advise others not to trust or work with this person in the future.
Below are direct comparisons of my work alongside the branding:
We are devastated by this act of hatred and Islamaphobia. There is absolutely no place for this in our community. We call on all to stand united and condemn this act for what it is - terror. London must be a city that holds no space for Islamophobia. #ldnont
Attention, students and young people - this thread is for you! I know this past year has been tough. I know you’ve missed important milestones, made personal sacrifices, and suffered real losses. But we’re here for you and, with #Budget2021, we’re going to help you. Here’s how:
It has been such an privilege to learn from Michelle. She has taught me to lead with curiosity, compassion, and humility. What a tremendous impact she has had on the community!
To celebrate and thank @ml_baldwin for her incredible impact on Pillar and our community, we're sharing some messages you sent in about what you've learned from her, along with a beautiful piece of art from @ItsEmmaRichard capturing your sentiments: https://t.co/tGe4z5ceNr
Men denigrating strong women by saying their voices sound like “nails on a chalkboard” is classic misogyny, sexism & gender stereotyping. What message does it send to ON women & girls when this is the language used by the Premier of ON? #onpoli
In Opinion
The disability rights activist Judith Heumann and the civil rights lawyer John Wodatch write, “We must embrace disability as a critical part of diversity, and truly welcome one another, in both letter and spirit, as equal members of society” https://t.co/4hznp4oa51
U.S. Attorney General William Barr personally ordered federal law enforcement to clear a park near the White House of peaceful protesters on Monday in time for President Trump to walk to a church for a photo op, a Justice Department official said https://t.co/eAstFexfC8
Tonight the President of the United States used the American military to shoot peaceful protestors with rubber bullets & tear gas them.
For a photo op.
This is a horrifying use of presidential power against our own citizens, & has no place anywhere, let alone in America. Vote.
As millions of people across the country take to the streets and raise their voices in response to the killing of George Floyd and the ongoing problem of unequal justice, I’ve heard many ask how we can sustain momentum to bring about real change.
The President threatened to take over cities and towns with military force. Peaceful protesters were tear-gassed so he could get a photo-op.
We will fight for justice for Black lives in America, even if our racist Commander in Chief tries to stand in the way.
As President Trump’s State of the Union speech ended, Speaker Nancy Pelosi ripped up her copy of his address, capping a decidedly chilly confrontation between the two https://t.co/DtHZIJVkGt
This is what silver spoon kids that are never held accountable for anything sound like.
AKA very strong “Mom, yell at my teacher to bump my grade up” energy
