Your daily reminder that those who say it’s a pipeline problem are liars.

Hey Nina Bianchi Will Brown — I was looking at Masterclass (specifically N. K. Jemisin’s caught my eye) to get some crash course insights as I make a writing/outlining push this weekend. What tools/resources have y’all used to get momentum?

Just was involved in an intensely emotional search for a lost child at a fall festival/pumpkin patch outing. Scared the shit out of me. This is the stuff of parental nightmares. Good news: we found her. Her mother was a mess but we are all grateful. Extra hugs to mine today.

Most people are looking for a "green light." They buy books, watch videos, take courses, and engage in endless learning....to find something that will make them feel assured enough to leap. Truth: You are the "green light." Just Go.

We are not only seeing high levels of COVID, but we are also seeing surges in several respiratory viruses all at once. Masks work against all airborne viruses. Why are we willfully ignoring valuable lessons of the last two years just to go "back to normal"?

If you’re one of the folks laid off from CityBlock feel free to reach out to Brennan Moore Sandy Varatharajah Malkan or myself, we’re hiring at firsthand. We have immense admiration for the work CityBlock has done in Medicaid, similar values, and many firsthanders are CityBlock alums!

This is your reminder to apply for that job. Don’t self-eliminate. I talk to too many people who say they didn’t apply because they didn’t perfectly match all of the requirements. You won't get the interview if you don't apply.

Make space for the unknown. Create space for the joy. The unknown is going to happen regardless. Be intentional about joyous experiences in your life. Have a great week, folks.

Thank you Brex for featuring Knac as a top startup in ATL! Excited about our growth and what’s to come. Special s/o to Jeanine for this campaign and being awesome. Excuse me while I go scream some more 🤣🥲

Also, as others have tweeted, let's be clear about *who* conducted this study. The official name of the study is the The U.S. Public Health Service (USPHS) Syphilis Study at Tuskegee, not the Tuskegee Syphilis Study, and it should be referred to as such.

Setting intentions for the new year instead of resolutions is probably the better way to go. Here are my thoughts on how I’m doing it + why: andreblackman.substack.com/p/intentions-v…
