Welcome Back! ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿผ

In the year 2024, the role of a social change communicator requires a lot more technical expertise than we used to. Weโ€™re expected to be website engineers, storytellers, graphic design artists, public speaking aficionados, influencers, and more. Sadly, this just doesnโ€™t really jive with my view of activism. Activism is unique to each person. Everyone has unique skills that are necessary for our society to move forward and achieve the liberatory future vision. Itโ€™s not about conquering every skill and running ourselves into the ground in the process. So why do we all have to do it all?

Thatโ€™s where Iโ€™ve found automation to be extremely helpful for my one-woman agency where I produce eight newsletters, two podcasts, and one planning resource a month plus my client work (I also get by with a little help from my friends!). ๐Ÿ˜… It wouldnโ€™t be possible without Zapier.

It's also extremely important to me to live the values I talk about by building my social change work with rest, life, and moments of creativity. This can only be done with time. Zapier has become my most valuable investment for my organization, other than Ghost, which helped me leave toxic platforms and build towards independence.
