UX designers: picture your target persona. Are they white, affluent, abled, otherwise privileged? Are those traits documented, or just unconscious "defaults"?

If your goal is to "create value," solving the problems of the people with the fewest problems may not be the best place to start!

Liked this in Death By Screens: "It's the organisation's job to make sure leaders hear the quiet voices in the room, to seek diverse opinions and not be swayed by those who speak the loudest. But since you can't control that, it's your job to grow your confidence to ensure you don't get ignored."
