Bookmarked! My finds for the week of April 6th

I use the "save" option a lot on LinkedIn to keep up with the #futureofwork and L&D. I also like to look outside of my immediate network to find resources that can help me be a better learning designer (and person).

💡 Here's what I saved/discovered/found this week 💡:

Current Events

Racism is so traumatic. Having to repeatedly defend your humanity, feeling responsible for your race, witnessing hate - it's all so difficult. There are some of us on the fringes of race work and others who dive headfirst into it. Richard Leong is doing the work to dismantle the structures that hurt his community and mine. Follow him on LinkedIn and listen to the experiences of those in the global majority. And PROTECT US, SPONSOR US, UPLIFT US, SPEAK UP FOR US.

Hi! My name is Nyla. I am learning experience designer, nonprofit co-founder and peer mentor. I have a podcast, I create digital planning and tracking tools for new instructional designers, and work out loud as I grow in my learning and development career.
