I'm excited to dig into this inclusive event design resource and leverage it for future event planning! What makes an event special for me as a planner is the opportunity to foster a sense of belonging, connection, joy, and learning. Ensuring events are inclusive and accessible, from your food and drinks menu at your birthday party to early access to accessibility seating for a conference, takes the event's reach and impact to the next level.

Anyone have any friends at Zoom and can share this feedback? Every time I click on the "Blur my background" on Zoom it cuts off my curls and texture of my hair. While it seems small, the impact of this is 1) I worked hard to get the curls to look good 😂 and cutting them off just makes it look bad (see picture) and doesn't authentically represent me 2) It's a reminder for me that this feature wasn't built with me in mind. It's what Kat Holmes calls a "mismatch." A mismatch is what happens when designed objects or experiences reject their users (e.g. scissors for left handed people). These mismatches are often rooted in history of assumptions and values of what's deemed "normal" or "average." Similarly here there is a long history of discrimination in what's deemed "acceptable" or "professional" when it comes to hair textures and hairstyles. The impact is that those assumptions (e.g. members will have straight hair) and values get encoded into what we build and design, and in the media for touch ups, editing, and blurred backgrounds textured hair often gets smoothed out reinforcing these systems of oppression for diverse hair types. At the end of the day, we all deserve to feel authentically represented and look good ✨ on camera. And the details on hair across hair types/textures/styles are important to make that happen. It's also a good reminder of the importance to consider the full range of diversity of the people we serve when we're designing and thoughtfully involve and partner with them at each stage of the process. Anyone else experience something similar?Note: Google Meets isn't perfect but it's captured here so you can see the difference in the level of detail of my curls. #inclusivedesign #equitabledesign #curlyhair #texturedhair #zoom

Yesterday I started a new chapter in my journey. I couldn't be more excited to join the Innovation Management team at Netflix as a Program Manager focused on Product Inclusion. I am beyond thrilled I get to lean into my passion and join their efforts to help product teams build products that are inclusive and representative of our member base. I want to give a HUGE thank y'all to Tripadvisor for the past two years. I am so grateful for the opportunity to work alongside some of the smartest people I know, for the invaluable experience I gained, especially the chance to dig into my passion for product inclusion, and for the many friendships I made along the way. Also, shout out to everyone who supported me throughout this transition. Whether it was encouraging texts, mock interview support, or celebratory toasts - your support meant the world to me and was a reminder that it indeed takes a village, and I am grateful for mine.Salud to this next chapter!

"You won’t find tragic stories in this package. Instead, we’ve opted to focus on Black Joy, on the parts of travel that draw us all year long, and on the ways we are working to change the industry so that it welcomes us as much as we yearn for it. Travel is in our blood, whether by force or by choice. And in a year when the world has shut down much of our access to it, we hope the decision to celebrate our past, present and future – told through this collection of contemporary stories by young Black writers – resonates with you, too." ❤️
