🔥 Vibe check: In Community #72

Your weekly boost of positive energy centering BIPOC leaders, creators, and culture-makers

🙌🏽 Welcome to In Community.

“Choose to be optimistic. It feels better.” – Dalai Lama

When I launched In Community, the goal was to drive a culture of wellbeing for those of us from historically excluded communities – and ultimately, all of us.

I often talk about this as a part of bringing the margins to the mainstream, by putting our communities at the core of how we grow our organizations and collective impact.

Each week, I choose to be optimistic about the impact we can make together. For instance, when I wrote about how AI is quickly becoming one more set of systems that aren’t being designed for us to thrive, it was a call to action to get involved now, to help shape where it goes.

👉🏽 It affects all of us.

I’ve decided to do something a bit different this week – to get some human intelligence (HI!), with a quick poll.

I’ve gotten great feedback from readers, and as this newsletter and the community evolves, I’m looking to hear from you even more. So take a minute and let me know by selecting one of the options below – and if what you have in mind isn’t listed, just send a note to [email protected] to let me know.
