Please, please use scheduled send 🙏🏾
For junior folks and/or those unable to work during this time, etc, *receiving* emails from those in power upon return to work is so much better than seeing that the same emails were sent *whilst* you were off…

At first they were amused but it became a community space not led by men nor the government, a women’s project, a Quechua effort & a meaningful gathering
