"As a Black Women founder of a small business, I would tell designers that if they choose to volunteer or work with folks that you come into the work still giving 100%.
Farah’s belief in my project before it was successful is the reason we are in the space we are now."

[Design to Combat COVID-19 @combatcovid19]

Our DCC19 lead @Farah_MAqrabawi paired w/ @OAAARS_LLC, a POC firm that provides social justice training by providing them branding & site assistance.

They are cultivating inclusion & safety in the workplace & you can help them continue to make WAVES 👇💜

WHY WE HAVE TO DESIGN FOR EVERYONE:

I just sent an email to the city in defense of a blind man clearly affected by ableism.

Swimming laps today, he informed me that he is not allowed to pay at the pool, wishes he could but was told to do so online which was hard for him.

A year ago I hung out with @Adobe for a two-day XD adventure on Adobe Live building an awesome design system for @combatcovid19 🎉

Not gonna lie, I was pretty nervous- designing live is no easy task! Time flies!

“We had doctors secretly meetings us in alleyways at 1am with motorcycle crews dropping off illegal PPE, because the government wasn't protecting them- it was punk rock as hell.”

Thanks @uinarrativeco & @GoogleDesign for highlighting @combatcovid19 & stories of POC designers. 💛
