What I love about Mike Monteiro’s blogging style:

1. Your style. At best, I’m calling it guerilla storytelling. Entrance, explain, execute. I feel like I’ve been punched in the face, and I need another hit.
2. Your point. I’m not sure I like the destination, but you make enough valid points for me to consider it.
3. Your use of multimedia. I’m taking notes, and I can’t wait to implement in my own work.

What concerns me:

How will licensing inequitably exclude? As an advocate naming and restructuring a system that doesn’t value lived expertise and marginalized communities, many powers that be (including licensure boards, and also in design culture) that support oppression.

In fact, it’s part of the reason why so many ethical issues have developed so fast; because histories, people, and processes exclude people on the margins (like Bobbi Duncan.)

I talk about it more in my own article; I’d love your thoughts.

Is Your Innovation Exclusive?

Starting the article, I was against licensure because of this point. Now, you have my attention. I thank you for that.

I look forward to reading your book to see how you discuss this issue.
