Absolutely! Perfectionism according to whom? Who gets to define perfect? Who gets to define success? Many times we hide behind perfection and “quality” when in reality, we’re referring to Eurocentric standards imposed on many through colonization and white supremacy culture.

Really excited to be part of the amazing cohort selected by Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) to be #2021RubingerFellows !

I’m a fan of things that help me reflect how I’m on this land and in this community. So as a native Oaklander, I'm loving the newly launched portal #Creativesinplace by Akonadi Foundation, Taj Uddin, and many others. (FWIW, I think it's an awesome resource wherever you're located!)

As a Black woman in design, I have plenty of stories about being otherized and experiencing misuse of power. It takes a lot of verbalize it. So I deeply appreciate the courage of George Aye (he/him/his) in sharing his own journey. Here’s to hoping that we all get the opportunity to heal.

How can we practice the future of community-engaged design now? Join CUP for an open and exploratory conversation with George Aye (he/him/his), Liz Ogbu, and SOBAT AMBYAR! Tickets are selling fast––reserve yours here today! eventbrite.com/e/how-can-we-p…

Liz Ogbu "Are we holding space to acknowledge that harm has been done? Are we reckoning with who was harmed and who benefited? Are we grieving the presence and cost of trauma that we hold? Are we letting what repair looks like be defined by those most harmed?" Wow wow wow.

Safety alone doesn’t challenge the dynamics that consistently prioritize the able-bodied, the wealthy, and the privileged.

Telling complete stories of who we are and where we have been is essential to healing. Why addressing the legacy of racism and exclusion in neighborhoods + cities is critical to reckoning/repair. My latest via Island Press Urban Resilience Project/U.S. News & World Report usnews.com/news/healthies…
