Our people 😂🇳🇬 SWIPE FOR DYSFUNCTION #NigeriansAtFacebook
Our energy
Our stage 🇳🇬 #BlackCommunitySummit
Day 1 of the #BlackCommunitySummit - while No Hands and September played in the background, my talented colleagues and I cooked up unprecedented, unapologetic, vital, critical, academic, professional Black excellence. Do y’all remember this booth? The last time I posed here, I was killing it @ my internship, awaiting a job offer. Then I returned to USC and owned my senior year. Now I’m a few months into this job. Immersed in my purpose. Learning about myself. Loving others near & afar. Bringing up Trojans. Supporting teams. Struggling. Fearful. I’m BABBLING because I’m celebrating my right now. Not just the highlight reel. Can we do this together?
I get to perform life-affecting work (both for us & teens) with an incredible team. I won’t tag them because a) they are not all represented in this photo and b) I will not provide contacts to harass for tech support, verification needs, etc. 😭😂😫
Day 1 of the Facebook #BlackCommunitySummit at the headquarters of the largest reaching social network, and my employer. I feel SO seen. During an efficacy session, I considered the value of being seen/heard vs. being respected. We all want both. But what do we really need to novate and progress? Van Jones @vanjones68 is both seen and respected - not everywhere he works, but in many environments. He told us that he will never become his enemy, and that he spent SO much TIME and ENERGY sharing what he was AGAINST that he had forgotten to give energy to what he was FOR. My enemies are systemic racism, sexism, xenophobia, stereotypes. Today I remembered that I cannot be as hateful and angry as those entities if I want to play a sustainable game. I want young girls to have the same experience I did upon entering this conference - they log onto Instagram and there is NO QUESTION that they belong. I am working to make them feel seen.
