“The education program showed me that Hexagon is committed to helping UX researchers like me continue to grow in our careers. It's helped me feel supported, included, and given me the confidence to know that my work as an early-career researcher matters.” - Srishti Mathur.

Our chapter leads aren't only great leaders in UX but also live really cool lives outside of work! Check out our @hexux_la lead Audrey Foronda in an interview with @patagonia about her hobby as a climber. https://t.co/FOLru0p901

As time passes, our fight cannot stop — look within and ask how we can step up, speak up, and be allies for the Black community. At Hexagon, we will continue to fight for racial equality and justice within our community and beyond. https://t.co/QcOuxBoLA5 #BlackLivesMatter

If you're a Black non-binary or Black woman in Hexagon, DM me in Slack to join #/for-Black-folx.

Now more than ever, we just need our own room 💪🏾 see you there!

[Hexagon UX @HexagonUX]

Hexagon was born out of the necessity to combat the gender gap in UX, but we would be remiss to think this isn't an intersectional issue. We will continue to fight for the Black community within Hexagon.

We won’t have all the answers but we have the space for you.

Please remove the #BlackLivesMatter hashtag from the #blackoutday action. Today we need to be MORE connected than ever.

[Instagram @instagram]

We're hearing asks from the community that posts related to Blackout Tuesday use the hashtag #blackouttuesday, and not #blacklivesmatter. The #blacklivesmatter hashtag aggregates important information and resources for the community.

[Hexagon UX @HexagonUX]

Most importantly, we have to continue to participate in uncomfortable conversations. Hold your peers accountable and continue to amplify black voices. #BlackLivesMatter

Recent events have brought home to us how important the principles of equality, diversification and justice are, in both our professional and personal lives. We stand together in the face of intolerance and are proud to serve women, POC and binary folx as an organization.
