If you've ever told yourself you're not creative, then this is for you (but also for all those naturally creative folks too!) Very excited to launch our first set of creativity programs at the @Brock_LINC https://t.co/JMkVeVit1J

Congratulations to DirtMarket being ranked #8 on @FoundersBeta Top 100 Tech Companies to Watch in Canada. They are a #constructiontech #femaleled #startup who started less than a year ago after winning #BrockU's Monster Pitch competition https://t.co/jHfYdUxp39

@suz_l_curtin @brock_library Well this is very cool! No idea we had this in the archives!

[Farzana Crocco @fjsyed]

Have you ever thought about the practice of #mentorship & how to be a good #mentor/#mentee? We were lucky @Brock_LINC to get some time with @scheschuk and @MindFrameCN on principles for mentors and mentees in the entrepreneurial ecosystem. Thank you for leading this work!

[Farzana Crocco @fjsyed]

We launched our first cohort of the #LINCubator at the @Brock_LINC last week! This is a really interesting group of #startups, and we're so excited work with them over the next eight months https://t.co/sHNqGxdTx4

First day back at work after #maternityleave and it's a mix of excitement at working again (seriously!), and wondering what's happening beyond the closed door... #WFH #dadtakingover

[Farzana Crocco @fjsyed]

Needless to say, I'm proud as punch. Listen to that intro to @TheFailsafes #crackintheblind by @CBCPeteMorey

[Farzana Crocco @fjsyed]

This happened yesterday! My husband's band @TheFailsafes made their @CBCDrive debut 📻

[Drive on CBC Music @CBCDrive]

Great track by @thefailsafes
giving us a "Sadies meets solo John lennon, with a pinch of paranoia vibe" #crackintheblind p.s the song is actually about #Cats

This made me nostalgic for AIM...which I used 20 years ago. This reminiscing is brought to you by: the early signs of "you're not young anymore" 😂

[OneZero @ozm]

Popular on AIM, away messages acted like digital Post-it notes stuck to a door, indicating that a person was unavailable to chat.

Yet they’ve largely fallen to the wayside in favor of constant connectivity that’s distracting and stressful. https://t.co/1gACV2YNHS

@VictoriaOPD Thank you @VictoriaOPD. I'll email you some photos!

One month into #momlife and stole a glance out the window to see the roses in full bloom. Made me think that growing roses isn't too far off from caring for a #newborn - can be tough to get started, thorny and prickly in places, but so beautiful and worth it.
