@jay_positive ok but like this was kind of a layup for you

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

Athletes— Please connect w/ local organizers who’ve been leading the fights in your cities. Most already have well thought out demands & initiatives they’ve been working toward for years. Your support can be the breakthrough they need. Listen to them over the local establishment.

I wrote a thing about our team @karat getting nominated for the @geekwire UX Design of the Year award. It was the 1st time that category was a part of the show and we were honored to be recognized.

(also congrats @skilljar for taking home the prize!)

I realize this is just a tiny gesture, but it’s what I’ve got that’s unique to my story. Tech is still one of the most powerful vehicles we have for economic advancement, so if you need help breaking into the industry, please reach out.

Today would have been Breonna Taylor’s 27th birthday — if police hadn’t broken into her apartment and shot her 8 times in her sleep.

[Andy Leong @mrandyleong]

In memory of Breonna, I’m offering free career mentorship, portfolio reviews, and interview coaching for any black students or early career professionals who want it. If you or anyone you know wants help advancing a career in tech, just send me an email at [email protected].

At Karat, engineering offsites go beyond hackathons. Product Manager @irenalam explains, "because predictive, fair, and enjoyable interviewing is what we do, spending time reflecting on our own hiring, culture, and bringing our mission to life is invaluable."
