Chatting with Future Class inductees for my latest at @theguardian.com. They paint a pretty clear picture of the perils of performative allyship.

Thanks to all who spoke with me, and always, to Keza for the chance to do important work!

Don't think it ever stops being a really cool feeling to see something you've set up appear in physical print in shops. Thanks again to EDGE magazines Ed for the Hell Let Loose Vietnam interview 😊

my Mastering Community Management book comes out tmrw, and I wanted to highlight the dedication in it to my parents! (The Vietnamese translates to "I love you a lot".)

I wrote a lot of things for them as a kid - government forms, notes, work requests - and I know my comms has been shaped by that. ❤️
