Check out NMM's resource for students looking to get into Manitoba's tech sector! Growing up I had no idea there would be careers in the digital space, nor how to learn more about the steps needed to get into it so this is a great resource to help guide the next generation!

I’ma keep this crisp because the kiddo has work to do and I actually have the energy to do it. lol I’m playin’ - this will be long winded as usual. To start, I need another eye surgery! Honestly, I’m ecstatic. I can see incredibly clearly at the moment. However, yesterday I went for my check up and the surgeon was like “hmm, we can make it even better - and it’s no cost.” CHILE, SAY LESS. I have to heal for another month and then I can schedule. In other news, do you see that $46.30 in my account? That was hundreds in the negative a few days ago. Thanks to growing newletter subscriptions (thank you!) and generous contributions of community care, I was able to bring one account current. I call that “poor people progress.” A WIN. Today on the newsletter for paid subscribers, I talk about the concept of Circular Bartering - another term I absolutely made up because I can. I love to barter. But what if you don’t have a good or service that the other person needs? Or, you don’t have the emotional spoons to offer a barter but you still have a need? Enter: Circular Bartering (Audio - 5:20) Really wanna encourage folks to experiment with new models and get creative in the ways that we can build an equitable society. Give it a whirl, refine as needed. Every exploitive system that exists was probably made up by a self-serving #ffffff man. We can make it up better. And, we deserve better. Ways you can support my own work in the equity space and a new project to help folks heal from financial trauma. 💸 Join my newsletter Poverty Sucks as a paid subscriber. Or, give gift subscriptions. (I’m unsure how that works but I can figure it out for anyone interested.) 💸 Direct contributions of community care Venmo: @ divinerobin Cashapp: $divinerobin PayPal: [email protected] 💸 Visit my wishlist for the littles (gift cards to Petco, Petsmart and regular gift cards are incredibly helpful.) *links for both are in the comments “The cost of living” is a terrifying phrase that should not exist. Ask for help if you need it. Help folks if you can. #investinblackrest ✊🏽🌱

Were you on a dating app, or attending a work event, these are the strategies you'd be considering to make a good first impression. Are you doing this when you first encounter prospective donors? Consider this: You should be dating your donors! What are some things you can do in these 5 areas to come across as eminently "dateable?" All suggestions welcome!

DonorDrive and Streetlight Digital are partnering to compile, analyze, and present this newest study to help your organization measure digital fundraising success.

🌟Donor Registration & Recipient Matching Web App 🌟 web link : https://lnkd.in/gip7ry_C I am excited to present my latest project - a Donor Registration and Recipient Matching Web Application that aims to make a real impact in our community. Here's a glimpse into this meaningful endeavor: What It Does: This web application simplifies and accelerates the process of blood donation and recipient matching. It serves two key functions: ✅ Donor Registration: Individuals with a generous spirit can easily register as blood donors, sharing vital information such as their name, phone number, blood type, and location. ✅ Recipient Matching: For those in need of blood, the platform swiftly identifies compatible donors based on blood type and location, facilitating faster and more efficient matches. The Heartwarming Touch: One of the project's standout features is the integration of the Twilio SMS service. When a new donor registers, they receive a heartfelt "Thank You" message. It's a small gesture with a big impact, fostering a sense of appreciation and unity. Why It Matters: Blood donation can be a literal lifeline, yet finding donors can be a challenge. This project is all about bridging that gap and ensuring timely access to lifesaving blood. and also, I'm open for suggestions, let me know any feature you want to add

Never forget the power of the personal touch. As a community leader it can be easy to get drawn into growth, scaling, increasing numbers and there’s nothing wrong with that of course. We all want new people to join and to become part of things. We all want events that are well attended. We all want to see the community interacting with each other en mass. But one thing that really matters to me is the 1:1 communication. - That short email checking in. - That minute long voice note. - That 15 minute online call. - That small gift or card in the post. Because for me community members will always be more than numbers and data. I’d love to hear how a personal touch has made a difference to you? #CommunityBuilding #HumanConnection #MeaningfulConnections #BuildingRelationships
