The era of Twitter that I experienced as a Tweep was so special, & it was the people who made it that way. So we not gonna leave y’all when you need us most. It’s STILL #OneTeam. To my Tweep fam, myself & a network of ex-Tweeps are ready to activate & help anyone who needs us 💪🏽

It’s impossible to imagine what Twitter would be like today without @delbius. You built the Trust & Safety team from the ground up, have been an amazing partner to me, and an incredible leader to the team. You've made a mark not only on Twitter, but on the entire industry. ❤️

It’s rare we find a real one in life. Much more difficult to find in #business. Grateful for my mentor and friend, @jcantleb over the last decade. RT and tag your greatest mentors and inspirations. bit.ly/3tRkr4M

Powerful! @nikkastar
every new project, new team, new situation present unknowns that we can either lean into or away from. leaning into them is where the pathway to growth is most fertile.

The best way to change the future is to prepare and uplift those who will influence it. It’s time to get real about #equity and #equality in #education. medium.com/@donaldhicksj/bla…
