" If you are a cohort participant and don’t see your private Slack channel, please let us know so we can guide you. "

" It’s not just about design; build relationships with HR, product management, sales, and more. "

" If you ever feel unsafe or threatened in this virtual community, we want to make sure you’ve got the support you need. "

" We have some truly phenomenal sketch notebooks, so you don’t have to worry about taking any notes on your own. "
