On carrying on - Technical.ly

In the wake of all this violence against Black men and women, how do a company and its employees cope? A look at how Technically Media is trying.

I'm so proud to work where I work.

When Juliana Reyes asked if she should write this piece, I said heck yes, EVERY organization regardless of its makeup should make space for conversations about ‪#‎BlackLivesMatter‬ and these kinds of hard conversations. If your company hasn't addressed the tragedies that are happening *every day* across the country, I urge you to talk with your leaders about making this space where you work. This is how we make change happen.

Lenny

Lena Dunham interviews Hillary Clinton for Lenny’s launch issue. Subscribe now to get feminism, style, health, politics, friendship and everything else in your inbox twice a week.

I’m excited about this: Lena Dunham and Jenni Konner have started an email newsletter aimed at giving a voice to lady passion. This quote says it all:

“Having your voice heard can also be frustrating, full of moments where one is willfully misunderstood, sees misogyny in action, or feels attacked for telling their truth. We wanted to create a space where new voices were safe to speak loudly about issues they care about. We want those voices to inspire you, envelop you, and even anger you. Mostly, we want a snark-free place for feminists to get information: on how to vote, eat, dress, fuck, and live better.”
