In this (longer-than-usual) episode, I'm reflecting on the time I took off from my business in April and what it taught me, updating you on the CDR's credential misuse policy debacle, and really going in depth to share my experience with a troll who challenged the existence of systemic racism on my page. This episode covers how I have chosen to respond to individuals who challenge my values or perspective, why it's important for you to decide what your own boundaries will be online and in your "real life," and where you can learn more about systemic racism in general, as well as how it manifests within our profession specifically.
