The final conversation is now live on @staffdotdesign! This week I dug in with @karlamickens to talk about defining boundaries, embracing mentorship, and recognizing the trade-offs of leveling up.

My sis is a vibe. Def. one to watch.
I can't tell you how excited (and nervous) I am about joining @browsercompany!! But the people, the product and quite frankly the whole process made this a very easy decision for me.
Everything just felt right!

Can film play a part in addressing Black maternal health? On Nov 6 we chat about this with Keri Shahidi. Keri and her daughter @YaraShahidi of #Blackish created a production company #7thSun in partnership with ABC. Register: airtable.com/shrI5tsPIm2kC9s…

If you care about black and brown maternal experiences (MX), this one is for you.
Let’s “sit” with @staceyabrams for a bit of storytelling and plotting our victories.

Lots of design debate over the weekend. There is only one thing I want to add. I have worked with @karlamickens for four years and on top of being one of the most positive people I have ever encountered she is also a supremely talented and conscientious designer.
❤️ @goabstract. Thank you for the love.

Got a call last night. Daughter of one of my best friends had died. She was in her mid 20s. She had been expecting a baby but lost it. There were complications. This issue of black women dying at accelerated rates from pregnancy and childbirth has just been made real to me.
