When I reported on tech whistleblowers I heard from others how helpful @IfeomaOzoma had been in guiding them.
Now she's codified that guidance in a new handbook. But it's not a how-to she says. "You cannot tell anyone how to potentially ruin their lives." protocol.com/workplace/tech-…

Today we are thinking of those who lost loved ones on and due to September 11th, 2001, and the aftermath that ensued.
We are thinking of all those who have suffered dehumanization and brutality at home and abroad as a result of bigoted and corrupt policies.

Harassment in the workplace is all too familiar for marginalized people. Yet, the workers that experience it are often quiet about it—because they have to be.
On July 27th we’re talking about the culture of silence driven by NDAs with @IfeomaOzoma +others bit.ly/2TTJEii

on how we design systems to support sorrow, @culturejedi asks:
does it nurture intimacy?
does it nurture connection?
does it nurture just expression?
