Adaptive Community Leadership says systems work exactly as designed. The systems are racialized & gendered to disproportionately funnel power and resources to those who look, think, & act like those already in power. Seattle area folks check out @LeadershipEast.

When naming things like tables, always future proof

If you sell wine, calling a table “wines” will be confusing when expanding to beer

“Beverages” will be confusing when you sell ice

“Products” confusing when expand to services

recommend tables be called “stuff” or “table1”

My favourite quote: "The defining feature of a slide design template is they tend to have random shapes splattered all over the slides. "

Although she claims no expertise on tech conferences, this advice is perfectly applicable to the tech conferences at which I've spoken. This is a must read for #sqlfamily and #pbifamily conference organizers, in my opinion.

Here's the entire interview with @kimlatricejones and David Jones Media. Take a second to watch the whole thing because she makes even greater points throughout the entire interview than she does in the viral clip that is circulating. Her Monopoly comparison is spot on.

Listen - This is a message to THE ENTIRE TECH COMMUNITY: If you ignore issues faced by people who look like me in tech and want to silence voices - then you don't care about making it a place for everyone... You just want a pure sanctuary. Want unity? THEN HAVE MY BACK. SPEAK UP

[Keith Townsend @CTOAdvisor]

Many of your employees and business partners, especially those of color are not OK. I personally know. They aren’t particularly productive or on their A-game. Ask them how they are doing. If they say OK, ask them again. Then give them space.
