I'm sorry, but this is how I feel: medium.com/@nicoletells/why-…

Why I no longer believe in Content Design

Content Design is broken and we can’t fix it alone.

So great to see @candiwrites on the @figma Config stage, sharing important truths we all need to hear and embrace.

I'm really ready for headless content management to become more widespread on product teams. Figma is an absolutely awful place to manage content.

“We reject the premise that only wealthy white men…decide what constitutes an existential threat to society….For people of color, women, LGBTQIA+ people, religious & caste minorities, indigenous people, migrants…technology has always posed an existential threat…

For too long media coverage of tech & AI has been defined by white tech barons and their PR machines. Today I join @safiyanoble @timnitGebru @dalitdiva @nighatdad @arzugeybulla @Nanjala1 @joana_varon & others to call for a more inclusive conversation. freepress.net/sites/default/…

I made a bag! This year I’ve been learning how to sew. This was my first one that I designed and patterned on my own.

Today's the big day! I'm attending @mjmetts's workshop to learn how to lead as an IC! What I really love about this workshop is that it is made specifically for UX Writers/Content Designers. Can't wait for @cbpechous and I to get started!

Here's what a recent participant had to say about their workshop experience. Thank you so much for the kind words, Adesuwa! Really means a lot. There are a few tickets left for the April 28th session if you're interested.
A quote from Adesuwa that says "As an early in career Content Designer, the Leading like you workshop provided me with actionable insights and strategies that I immediately shared with my team. The content was informative and easy to understand. The audience was diverse and shared candid tales of their experiences and challenges within design. It definitely made me feel less alone in some of the challenges I've been facing. Thank you to Michael and the facilitator for an amazing workshop! i am so thankful for the experience."

This happens far too much. Moving forward, if it happens to me, I will be backing out. We need to be seen as individuals. We are more than our current jobs.

Why do conferences insist on using the logo of the company I work at when I’m not speaking on their behalf? 🤔 It’s my content. Has nothing to do w/ my employer. I’m giving my time. Taking time off of work to do it. Just use my name. I’m enough.
