#digitaldivide #drexciya #UDC #civics The From the Deep: In the Wake of Drexciya with Ayana V. Jackson exhibit was enlightening, especially since I experienced it in person. Multiple sensory designs and installations piqued my interest. This, to me relates to civics as a sense of unification. A story was told from the materials used, and a strong message was received. A sense of pride and perseverance. During the observation of the exhibit, many different colors and materials were used. This, to me, was a node towards diversity. Creating and making many different things coexist beautifully, as art can be a simile for democracy and society. The Drexciya exhibit also touches upon themes related to digital culture and technology, which are increasingly relevant to civics in the digital age. This includes issues such as online activism, digital rights, and the impact of technology on democracy and civic participation. The #digitaldivide is relevant to this topic as it aims to provide high-speed internet to everyone, but such information can’t be accessed because of this disparity.

🏗 This Friday I have the honour of participating in the Beyond Culture of Ownership (un)conference. What excites me more about this event is the discussion about how technology and the creative industries can re-imagine the concept of ownership. Let's assess different definitions of ownership: 📚 Cambridge Dictionary: The right or state of being an owner. 💻 ChatGpt (always interesting to see what our AI friend thinks): Ownership typically refers to the legal right to possess, use, control, and dispose of an item or asset. It involves the exclusive rights and responsibilities associated with a particular object, property, or resource. Ownership can pertain to various types of assets Blockchain and Web3 bootstrapped the conversation about what is being an owner in the digital era. How do you think technology will redefine ownership? #blockchain #artstechnologies #ownership

Greg Goldstein and I want to thank all current and former (and future) TFAvengers for getting us to this milestone! We will keep growing and going. We will keep being funny and human. We will keep learning and getting better. We will have successes and failures. We will have moments of joy and utter moments of panic. We will meet thousands of like-minded people along the way and partner with companies who thrive to have better digital connections, pay for tasks rather than hours, have a digital agency that focuses on ROI and ROAS and believes in a data-driven, humanistic approach to success. We will have naysayers and dismissers. We will have evangelists and colleagues. We will have some other agencies who are allies and some who are competitors. We will always serve the client right or break up so they can find a better partner for them. We will not stand in the way of growth. We will not be a perfect fit for every client. We will perfect our fit with clients who want the change we are offering. We will thrive, survive and stay alive. We are thankful for your follows, your likes, your thought leadership, your trust in our process and your friendship. We are that funny agency and we will never stop telling dad jokes like this one: "How many marketers does it take to screw in a lightbulb? None, they’ve already automated it." ;)

Boards require agility to handle the demands impacting our businesses. How do we become agile? By creating a strong culture that promotes performance and responsive governance. For practical advice on how to make this happen, read the NACD (National Association of Corporate Directors) report Culture as the Foundation: Building a High-Performance Board. Thanks to the NACD Texas TriCities Chapter for providing this opportunity for learning and dialogue around this topic. Thanks to Anna Catalano, Gaurdie Banister, and Jarvis V. Hollingsworth for sharing their insights.
