Loving this article that quotes our founder @mbopaiah: Bopaiah agrees on the need to “stop valuing negotiation” because it “is a practice favored by men (and an example of how work is designed for male comfort”. #InternationalWomensDay #EmbraceEquity #TheEquityBook

Hey @CapitalOne - I have six savings account with you with a less than 1% interest rate, but had to start a new one to get the 3.3% interest rate with your 360 Performance. Shouldn't the default be to give your loyal customers the best savings account without opening a new one?

"We’ll have to stop clapping ourselves on the back & eating venture capital $ to start more outlets that say the same things as the old outlets do except in a different font or color, while local newsrooms don’t have reporters to send to city hall or sit in on school board mtgs"
Kathy Lu (she/her)@kathyluwho14 Dec 2022
Dear newsrooms: If you want to know why some communities you cover have low trust of media, ask the people of color on staff. They know. And read this by @halophoenix for @NiemanLab. niemanlab.org/2022/12/a-reck…

A reckoning with why trust in news is so low

"Too often the way large media organizations approach journalism implies that their audience is actually the Pulitzer Board, as opposed to their subscribers and the general public."
