@mayamiddlemiss "Rose, thorn, bud" at team meetings. We share on our weekly internal blog, & do checkins with Wulu (by @olark ) on Slack. I've been extremely open about my own struggles with anxiety through various channels, and that helps others feel like they can open up, too

youtu.be/kxupN5eLS8g @itsbennyblanco and I started working on this in July, when I met Nilda through @BklynDefender. Her son was taken from her under the Family Separation Policy. I’m grateful to her for trusting us to help tell her story, and I hope we’ve done it justice.
Few CEOs are as humble as Ben Congleton (@jaminben) CEO @olark. We’re lucky to interview him in The Heartbeat ❤️ –> knowyourcompany.com/learn/newslett…
