@operaqueenie @juliacsolano @jesssolomon @richaelfaithful And.. @operaqueenie! Made with love, for the community.

Which brings us back to the Community Infrastructure Fund. Major props go to @eshanthirana, @juliacsolano, @jesssolomon, @richaelfaithful for bringing this idea to life, and finding ways to allow philanthropy to start building a new muscle -- building WITH vs building FOR...

We can do better than this.

I just Googled “webcam for dark skin” and 5 out of the first 10 results are for... porn. The 10th is a YouTube tutorial on how to lighten my dark skin. #ip=1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">google.com/search?client=…

So I can aspire to be lighter, or I can aspire to be a sex object, but I can’t possibly be a dark skinned person looking for tech that can properly see me.

How do we build a future we've never seen before? We change who we centre in the seeing. So excited to see my teammate @eshanthirana & team's work start to go live... ..featuring brilliant @comuzi_lab @agb4equity @KamalSinclair @SOIFutures omidyarnetwork.medium.com/listening-to-t…

@nhegde Needs at least three more buzzwords before I'll read it. Strategic, scale, and hockey-stick growth, for starters.

First slide deck will be called: Reimagining How We Move: A Transformative Framework for Mobility to Catalyze Exponential Growth for a New Networked Economy. What did I miss consultants??

The @OmidyarNetwork is reimagining a beautiful future that is more equitable and just. #RadicalImagination has partnered with Omidyar and others to be a part of the Exploration & Future Sensing unit where we hope to build a better future together. omidyarnetwork.medium.com/listening-to-t…

Want to get to a better future? Change the people in the drivers seat. These futurists are imagining and building a more hopeful and resilient world. @agb4equity and Radical Imagination, @comuzi_lab, @KamalSinclair and Guild of Future Architects, @SOIFutures. Melanin in the room!

Big thanks to @future_hunters @ErOrange and @JaredWeinerNYC for the partnership on this!
