I grew up in an observant (devout?) Muslim household. When I questioned my faith, my folks didn't ban books. They encouraged me to read books by Muslims AND non-Muslims—Christian, Jewish, atheist, or other. It was life changing. And it's a message I'm passing on to my children now, and one I hope they pass to their children when the time comes.

Parents: Trust your kids. Ban ignorance—not books.

U.S. Police kill more than 1100 civilians annually—unprecedented in the developed world.

A new app called TurnSignl, built by Black civil rights lawyers, deescalates police interactions with civilians & get everyone home safe.

Here's how it works.
1. Download the app
2. When pulled over by police, face time a lawyer on demand via voice activation. The call is also auto recorded
3. The lawyer guides the convo.

A lesson of the past few years in tech is that it’s possible for an entire industry to gaslight you.

Whether it was the usefulness of crypto, the competence of certain billionaires or that unviable businesses were worth billions. There’s a lot that common sense said didn’t make sense that an entire industry of VCs, media and opportunists told us did.

It’s been a lesson in trusting your gut and not being afraid to swim against the current of popular opinion.
