I am a lot of things: a black woman. a journalist. an educator. a human being. a sister, a daughter, a friend. I am also exhausted, beat down, hopeless, dejected, lonely and scared. But the one thing I am not is “okay.” – at Florida, USA
🚨 The Post's Elections team is hiring a senior full-stack engineer! I've been on this team for almost two years now & I can guarantee you'd be surrounded by some of the kindest and smartest humans.

If you don't feel qualified, apply anyway. I had Big Imposter Syndrome when I applied for this team — I still do sometimes! — but the environment fostered is so kind and supportive, I'm so happy I took the chance.

Please share around to your friends, too 🫶🏿 And as always, if you have any questions please reach out — especially if you're from an underrepresented group.
I'm not on the twitters much but you can reach me here: [email protected]

"She also knew that to keep the job, she had to be perfect. She couldn’t mess up. And so she didn’t."
A great profile that touches on the battles Black women constantly face in their professional lives. washingtonpost.com/nation/20…

Also, we're hiring an election features engineer to work on tables, charts, maps and other more esoteric data viz around our 2024 election coverage — including the live video board I get to use on TV!

Plus, you will work for the amazing @BritRenee_!

One of the best lines I’ve ever read in an OOO email, courtesy of one that I just received: “If this is urgent, take a deep breath because few things really are.” THAT energy.

It's Sunday. The first one of 2023!
Time to re-share my "templates" folder with y'all so you can organize your life and stop forgetting when you need an oil change or what the name of that really good recipe was.

Happy holidays to all the big city, high-powered career women who in the next week will inherit a castle/inn/farm, make Christmas cookies, drink hot cocoa, put on the town’s winter festival, find love and quit their jobs.
This is absolutely devastating news. I started my career as an @NPRinterns. I hope they reconsider this and remember how integral interns are to an organization and its future.
🚨 My goodness. Facing budget shortfalls, @npr just announced it will cancel the Summer 2023 internship program. This makes me truly sad. I may be wrong but I don't recall this happening in my nearly 30 years. @NPRinterns are part of NPR's lifeblood & a pipeline of great talent.

I moved back to my birthplace, Los Angeles, last year, and with it came a flood of memories and reflections. So much of who we are is defined by where and how we grew up. I tried to distill my thoughts into a memoir on "upward mobility" for @puddingviz.

🚨 I'm hiring! Recently I became the engineering lead for election features, and I manage a team of three really lovely and talented engineers. We’re looking for another person to join us!

Speaking of improving — It's my first time in management and I'm learning as fast as I can. If you're up for going on that journey with me, I'll do my best to always listen, treat you with empathy and be your biggest advocate.
Election Day is, uh, tomorrow so I'll have more to say after that. In the meantime, if you have any questions, reach out at [email protected] ✨
