I kick off every day with prayer & meditation before turning to the @axios newsletter. 📲 Today, I got to see a familiar face thanks to @emayhawk. ☺️ Grateful that she shared my career journey and how @brightdrop is fighting #ClimateChange. 🌎 tinyurl.com/52chtwrn – at Washington, DC

We've heard publishers' feedback on our proposed ads and business terms update. We care deeply about our partners and do not plan to make policy changes without a full consultation with industry groups and leaders. We're committed to getting this right, and as we expect this consultation could extend beyond November 20, in which case we’d delay implementation of the updated terms. Until then our existing terms remain in place.
The crawling terms we consolidated only applies to our ads and business products, and we've now clarified that in the terms themselves. As we said, how Meta uses web crawlers isn’t changing, nor is how content owners can use robots.txt to signal preferences. These updates don't give us new rights to supersede such preferences and this isn’t about scraping news sites. m.facebook.com/legal/self_se…

.@Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg tells @POTUS his company will invest "at least $600 billion" in the U.S. over the next several years "to build out data centers and infrastructure to power the next wave of innovation."

People and businesses can unfortunately lose many personal memories and access to valued customers when they’re hacked. That’s why @Meta is testing facial recognition technology to help people regain access to their accounts in a quick and secure way. tinyurl.com/mr2xp686

Earlier today, a technical issue caused people to have difficulty accessing some of our services. We resolved the issue as quickly as possible for everyone who was impacted, and we apologize for any inconvenience.
We're aware people are having trouble accessing our services. We are working on this now.

Chris will do an incredible job elevating LGBTQ voices! 🏳️‍🌈
Thrilled to join forces with @KelleyJRobinson and @HRC in the relentless fight for liberation. With so much at stake, the time for action is now. Remember, none of us are free until we ALL are free. 🏳️‍🌈💪🏾

Some of the best career advice I've received came from a boss on Capitol Hill: "Your confidence is gained and lost on a day-to-day basis, so always bring your A-game." This constantly reminds me to tackle each day with a fresh perspective. #Communications #Career #Advice

Giving back is powerful. ✨ That’s why I’m stoked to share I started the “Daniel C. Roberts Ole Miss First Scholarship Fund” for a student to receive half tuition and mentorship.📚 Find a way to give back — it’s never too early. 🌍 #OleMiss #Scholarship #PayItForward

Kicking the month off with some solid production and customer milestones. 🚙 ⚡️ – at Coral Hills, MD
Excited to welcome @RyderSystemInc to our customer list! After celebrating the fastest plant conversion in @GM history, we're quickly ramping EV production with the first Canadian-built BrightDrop Zevos shipping to customers now. gobrightdrop.com/newsroom/fi…

Some things I picked up from the past 2 years of my career. 📝 1. Lead with empathy ✔️ 2. Be resilient ✔️ 3. Trust the process ✔️ 4. Assume good intent ✔️ Couldn’t think of a better team than the @BrightDrop x @GM family. ⚡️ 📸: @SteveFecht #Work #Anniversary #EV #Future

Big week at @brightdrop as we expand our business internationally, open Canada's first full-scale EV plant, and add @DHLexpress as a customer. 🍁 #SustainableFuture
"We are seeing incredible momentum in this sector to decarbonize last-mile delivery." @traviskatz CEO @brightdrop says their #EV delivery vans have received over 25k reservations — from clients like $FDX $WMT $VZ. We talk economic & environmental benefits + his take on $TWTR!
.@Meta is a special place and it’s tough to hear so many talented people were impacted by this week’s #layoffs I’ve talked to some already, but am just a call or msg away for job leads or advice. Also happy to chat about open roles at @BrightDrop. bit.ly/3hBoYak
Loved hearing from @SEIA’s @jenbristol_, @Genesys’ Bridgette McAdoo and @brightdrop’s @danc_roberts on how communicators can effectively convey climate solutions. @PRWeekUS #PRDecoded

Comms is about translating difficult concepts to words that the average person can understand. 📝 Industry jargon —> Regular talk ✨ Always ask, would my parents back home understand what I’m saying? 🏡 #PR #Tips
"We lean on the marketers to understand what the technicality is and using the comms teams to be their translator to the rest of the population" says Daniel Roberts of @BrightDrop on why green solutions can also be economically beneficial for consumers. #PRDecoded
