I shared my thoughts on fundraising amid market volatility and how at @northstarmoney we’ve seen financial wellness is countercyclical––much needed in good times, and even more needed during bad times:

Grateful for @bayareawriter for covering our story, values, and vision so well! We've been floored by the response from investors and customers, especially in this tough economic environment.

Dennis is extraordinarily talented, and we're so excited to be partnering with him here at @northstarmoney!
Humbled to say I'm joining @northstarmoney as their Head of Design next week ✨ Financial wellness is so important in today's day and age, but there is limited access to education around money. I believe this should be a fundamental right, and I'm excited to lead design here.

my team works in AI, a field where there are many complex issues with racial bias. my colleague (dr. courtney heldreth) and i wrote a starter for anyone looking to make their design processes more equitable, citing what we’ve learned in our work!
Incorporating a racial equity lens in product development involves: → Owning impact → Redistributing power → Designing with broader systems in mind In our latest, @Google’s AIUX team shares actionable steps to designing more equitable products 🤝 https://t.co/m6UblkEyQm

Love that our founder @wp is hosting such a fantastic chat w @SuzeOrmanShow about employee financial wellness. Obstacles: fear, shame and anger. "Face it to erase it. Powerlessness repels people. What makes you powerless? when you are afraid." @M13Company #FuturePerfect

We regret to inform you that your Venmo balance does not, in fact, count as an emergency fund... Oh, and sometimes our parents are right.
