A beautiful reminder this Sunday. Words by George Saunders. Hand crafted note by my daughter.
I am incredibly pleased to announce I just signed my first book deal with @mitpress. A tweet about my experience as a Nuyorican navigating the corporate design world grew with the encouragement of @bobprior, @johnmaeda, and @kevinbethune. So much gratitude.
Coming 2024!
The only thing constant is change. But with change, comes the opportunity for renewal.

So proud to bring the palette of paradise to life with "Puerto Rico: The Sum of its Arts" in collaboration with @googlearts. Take a look and enjoy this poem by the great @LemonAndersen... #artofpuertorico #googlepartner @MuseoMAPR goo.gle/PuertoRicanArts -LMM
In the darkness of my own grief of letting my daughter go, I found @meganmorrone story such a comfort to know, I was not alone.
Thank you for letting us share this beautiful piece.

Watching my 86-yr-old grandpa carry buckets of fuel to fill up the generator. Running to buy batteries for my dad’s fan bc it’s close to 90 degrees today. And relatives throwing out their groceries that have gone bad.
This is life in PR now. And we’re some of the lucky ones.

El 28% de los abonados de la AAA sigue sin servicio de agua potable. La AAA ha restablecido el servicio a más de 400 mil clientes mediante la instalación de 560 generadores. Es decir, que parte significativa de su infraestructura crítica sigue sin servicio de energía eléctrica.
I’m noticing many places with open applications for funding lead with the word “young” — clearly exclusive. It’s ironic when they also purport to fund social impact and minority run businesses.
Is there space for “mature” entrepreneurs trying to do something ambitious?
Is anyone paying attention?! It’s crazy how acquisitions consume the feed and yet… PR and its people, our people, are suffering. Maybe more tech colonialists can buy up the sunny sands free of taxes displacing it’s residents so they can in turn “rescue them” — that shd do it.
Breaking News: Puerto Rico’s governor said that over 1,000 stranded residents had been rescued after Hurricane Fiona left the island with widespread flooding and continued heavy rains. Most of the island remains without power. nyti.ms/3dqQ1Dy
The irony of this being released when there is yet another full island blackout...

I can't get over how beautiful this is; in storytelling, photography, journalism, and just plain vibrant color.
