. @square was my best onsite interview Why? Minimized invisible expectations Dress code, interviewer schedule + focus— I was emailed all of it! Startup funding has similar inaccessible "IYKYK" norms... Excited that @calmfund 's new default app is designed for transparency ✌🏽

Want a hint at my first #WomenMakeChallenge is about? This sample font copy should be a BIG hint! 😉 Was honestly worried I wouldn't find the right #nocode frontend for the @airtable I've been building, but finding @PoryHQ today was the break I needed. 🙏🏽 Back to work! 👩🏽‍💻🔨

Disappointed to hear a speaker at the #contentmarketingforum repeatedly use “Ghetto” as though it’s a harmless synonym for cheap or shoddy. Content creators and brand folks should be the *most mindful* about this careless alienation. Cc: @Digiday

Missing random snow days as a wfh person? I got you this: 🚨 All WFH is delayed* 🚨 There's been an accident on the information highway! @SlackHQ conditions are unstable + traffic is bumper to bumper on @NotionHQ . *essential employees may report in using phone or email.

Today, my inbox is full of incredible underestimated founders. 🎉 Why? Because I asked to gift a few @FounderSummit "Mastermind Sprint" seats back to my community + @tylertringas was immediately on board. Not having to explain why access + inclusion matters is refreshing. 😍

Made my first 🌱 seed investment in... Maven! @wes_kao + @gaganbiyani 's platform that helps creators build cohort-based courses (CBC). I'm a hands-on learner who thrives in community, so I'm bullish on CBC as the future of online learning. 🚀🚀🚀

@blkgirllostkeys Honestly, thank you! This thread made me take moment to send gratitude to that experience, which isn't how I *usually* reflect on it. I came for the ADHD + stayed for the collective healing of past trauma NBD.

+1000000 to a house-cleaning stipend! Huge fan of minimizing the invisible "second shift"— aka housework, childcare, etc. "Women do ~ 75% of the world’s total unpaid-care work, including childcare, caring for the elderly, cooking, and cleaning."

COVID-19 and gender equality: Countering the regressive effects

What is good for gender equality is good for the economy and society. COVID-19’s impact on women puts that into stark relief and raises critically important choices.

Things I’m thinking about to make HOW a culture that puts women at the heart: - 4 day work week - 10:30-3:30 as “Core hours” for meetings - full coverage of therapy - WFH + quarterly in person meetings to review goals and strat planning - house cleaning stipend what else?
