Hi! I’m so excited you’re here for our ninth newsletter! 💡learnshiv is here to make learning easy for you, whether it’s tech, social justice, or self-improvement content.

I’m learning as I go here and realizing that my webinar + podcast recaps are more sustainable for me to get out every week. I will still release content that takes longer, like course recommendations; it may not be every week.

I hope you enjoy this week and psssssst there’s a new section too!

PS. Please move this newsletter to your primary inbox and hit reply to say hi!

💡 GLOSSARY OF GROWTH

Here’s a new section where I’ll define three terms in each of our verticals: tech/career, politics/social justice and mindset/self-development.

TECH — Generative AI: Generative AI refers to a subset of artificial intelligence technologies that can create or generate new content, including text, images, videos, and music, that resembles human-like outputs.

SOCIAL JUSTICE — Decolonization: Decolonization involves deconstructing colonial ideologies of the superiority and privilege of Western thought and approaches.

SELF-DEVELOPMENT — Collective burnout: Collective burnout refers to a state of widespread exhaustion and diminished productivity within a group, organization, or community, stemming from prolonged exposure to stress and high demands.

Does anyone else feel like 2024 is running away from them? I can’t believe Q1 is over. I can’t handle it, so I decided to take a step back and set some concrete goals. I decided to use this goal + habit tracker from Brandon Smithwrick (who is also one of my favourite people to follow on LinkedIn!)

It’s a great goal template, so I wanted to share it with you. Grab it at the link below!

💡 P R O F I L E P I C K

Friday Things is one of my favourite newsletters. It’s genuinely some of the smartest pop culture analysis and it’s written by Stacey Lee Kong. If you love pop culture but you want to explore it past the surface level, this is the newsletter for you. Here’s a bit of what she’s discussed lately:

• What does the American Flag mean in 2024? Referencing Beyonce’s new album.

• The Royal Family is *definitely* in it’s FLOP era.

• Journalism has never really been objective, FYI.

Thanks for reading our ninth newsletter. I hope you enjoyed our new section, and my addition of more webinar/podcast recaps!

It’s a learning process while growing this newsletter, but I hope you enjoy the content so far! If you have time, please reply and let me know if it’s tech, social justice or self-development content you like the most.

Have a great week, and stay curious,

Shiv 💁🏽‍♀️
