I absolutely LOVE @levakabas.bsky.social work.
He is a practitioner in the industry I study. I love that he represents for women's and sports but in a unique way that tells stories with data.
More practitioners should pay attention to his work.

Sending my love out to all students at this time.
At the end of the semester, a lot of students experience burnout, fatigue, and a bunch of other feelings.
Please make sure you get some rest and focus on self-care.

When I got my computer fixed at the Apple Store, one of the techs recognized my voice. He asked where I’ve been, shared his goals, and even asked if I’m creating content in 2025. It warmed my heart—you never know who’s inspired by your content.
