While I've continued to do a bunch of work in the #govtech / #publicinteresttechnology space, I've been doing is mostly quietly, my primary focuses elsewhere. A recent call-for-startups has sparked me to re-engage and ask: Is it Time for BCDevExchange2.0?

A gift to be in the territory of the @SquamishNation earlier this week to be part of celebrating an amazing colleague, Leah, who’s a finalist for a @BCPublicService Emerging Leader Premier’s Award. An especial gift to have one of my fave people, @Louise_Hartland, interviewing me.

Currently: Fielding test prep texts from my bonusdaughter about the process/timeline of adoption of UNDRIP. Casting back to when I was in grade 11, can’t help thinking the extent to which this little exchange between us is an expression of how far we’ve come. 🧡#paddletogether

With gratitude to @amydiehl for putting this paper on my radar, I've shared links and some related reflective commentary in this @LinkedIn article: "Not here": How gender discrimination is dismissed and persists in passionate workplaces:
