an invitation to reframe how the country discusses the role and history of its Black citizens
Your privilege is not your fault, but it is
your responsibility.
If they come for me in the morning, they will come
for you in the night.

Protect our
most vulnerable.
Fascism targets the most vulnerable people
unworthy of life
Hate is formulaic
...and tech has algorithamatised it.
On redwoods
Stand tall,
and join roots.

We must learn to lift

We must learn to join

Systems of Systems
Design systems create an umbrella to to define the future of our design work. But design systems are not the biggest umbrella, so to speak—they exist under broader social, political, and infrastructural systems that affect the parameters, limitations, and variables of our system. Investigating design systems across many verticals, we'll look to see how design systems are impacted by the systems they live within. And beyond the verticals, we'll look to see how broader systems of power and oppression influence the design systems, and ultimately, the users who use the products defined by them. We'll look to see how to assess where our design systems live in broader ecosystems, the challenges inherent, and how to lean into the good, and resist the bad, to ensure we're serving all humans in an equitable and ethical way, maintaining safety and trust.
