A reminder that it DOES NOT MATTER if you hire more Black people if you don’t ALSO have the tools and culture to support them. They’ll either suffer through it until they find something better or, if they can, leave when they realize you care more about perception than people.

Just got back from a week-long overseas trip that I took purely to visit a friend whom I’ve known for more than four years but had never met in person. 😂

Jason’s body of work speaks for itself but, if I could add anything, I’d say his compassion, focus, and inventiveness make him one of the best people out there to help you get your web projects into more hands. Partner with him if you can!

Anyone using Shopify able to help me figure how to ship to pickup points? Searching didn’t help and @ShopifySupport AI just keeps pointing me to a setting I don’t have. I’m guessing it’s only available to more expensive plans (and hoping I’m wrong)… 😬
