There's something amazing and terrifying about being in Asia because it's so far away from everything it makes me I feel like I could disappear. I can't tell you how much I have wanted to disappear, lately.

I don’t have any actionable takeaways from these observations but if these resonate with you, know that I believe you deserve better than the situation you’re in and I hope you can persist long enough and heal well enough to find it 💜

The entire time you’ve been being told you shouldn’t be here, in ways that range from subtle to overt. You cannot exist in that without internalizing it somewhat, no matter how hard you try to build your support network and believe in yourself. You should be here, though.

PSA for under-indexed folk in tech: if you are mistreated at work in some way (and we all know the stories are varied), the most effective way for HR to neutralize the lawsuit risk is for them to make you believe you are the problem. It doesn’t mean they are right.

There are some things you need to improve & there is feedback you need to hear. This is true for all of us; we all have things to improve & we all need to know what they are. But in supportive environments feedback builds you up not tears you down. You deserve that feedback.

The first time I came to Japan was ~10 years ago and a lot has changed but the thing I am saddest about was Starbucks used to have miniature drink sizes and now it's the same as everywhere else.

Paying attention to how people give credit is so illuminating. Some people withhold credit… Some people use it as a power move… Some people only credit those above them… Some people credit generously and frequently. Anything I missed? What about you? Who do you want to be?
