Milton Jackson graciously gives Brave UX’s first poetry reading, reflects on the critical importance of role models, and shares his aspirations for a more inclusive world.

Highlights include:

⭐ Poetry reading: Love Lost in Likes ⭐ What led you to a career in technology and design? ⭐ Has the lack of black designers been painfully obvious to you? ⭐ Where did your confidence to teach public speaking come from? ⭐ Why isn’t the written word more central to the experiences we design?
