👋🏽 Hey girl, how’s your monday going?

Femmecubator is ready to launch in a few weeks and it’s all thanks to the community and partners for showing up to make it all possible!

This week - a hat tip and shoutout to our partner and the awesome team at .ignite 🔥🔥🔥thank you for helping ignite the way!!

Check em out!!

Black Designers Ignite is about celebrating the lives and works of Black creatives.

We are reimagining how designers start and grow their design careers, and challenging the way designers and speakers gain exposure, network, present portfolios and earn.

We are building a platform with the purpose of solving big problems and bringing together passionate designers to create change and unity. We do this by challenging the status quo and elevating voices of those too often left behind.

“I refuse to label myself a designer if I am not active and persistent in this fight for diversity and inclusion. As a mom with a platform, I can create change. For 2+ weeks I couldn’t breathe or see through the clouds of smoke and anger in my city. Then I went to Where are the Black Designers? (event) and the call was clear...”

WIP WEDNESDAY💪🏽

In the spirit of scrappiness and "starting something" - our UX team did a quick design sprint a few weeks ago using the Important/Urgent matrix.

📝 When starting case studies, don't worry about making your documentation perfect in the beginning.

🔑 In UX, documentation is key! It’s important to plan, annotate your work to share with the team or just start with an outline of your process on a blog so you can get back to it later.

💡Continue capturing your thoughts and document your progress, then you can spend time refining your story later. The important part of documentation is to be clear about your goals and your findings in doing the workshop/study.
