I dream of never being called resilient again in my life.
I’m exhausted by strength. I want support. I want softness. I want ease. I want to be amongst kin. Not patted on the back for how well I take a hit. Or for how many.

Before issuing a RFP to reimagine a sector / redesign a major effort, look honestly at your budget. Divide that by human-time. Is than more than a grad student doing a lit review + some KIIs?

Observation 6: ORNAMENTS ARE EXPENSIVE.
That cost me $15.99. That's more than three everything bagels. I am furious. For what it cost, you best believe that I am insisting that it be passed on to my great grandchildren. If they break it I will haunt them.

Growing up, my Muslim family never celebrated Christmas. This year I am not going home, because pandemic, so my roommates are teaching me how to have my first proper Christmas.
I am approaching this with anthropological precision.

I have 5 invites in my inbox to "co-create the future”.
I’ve architected, negotiated, led a lot of co-creation work. True co-creation. With stakeholders from diverse backgrounds (regionally, economically, politically, culturally) + some that hate each other.
What I've learned:
