My favorite word? "Y'all"
Glad you're stopping by! My name is Demeatrice, but I go by "Jimmy", and I'm a software engineer located in San Antonio, Texas. Depending on who you talk to, some might say I'm not "from" anywhere in a traditional sense. I grew up in a military family that was always on the move to some other state or country, so I ended up with quite a few niche and interesting experiences growing up. What I gleaned from those experiences have helped mold me into who I am today. I learned to adapt quickly to new surroundings, value opinions and outside perspectives, effectively collaborate with others, and the importance of communication in any setting. Phrases such as "Teamwork makes the dream work", "Two heads are better than one", and "The more the merrier!" are always on my mind which is why I believe inclusion is crucial for work environments. If somebody isn't included, then you're missing out on a possible perspective or solution. I find that more often than not, more people is beneficial for finding solutions. That's why I like the word "y'all", it's not only one of the most inclusive words to use, but you can have a fun time saying it with an accent. Go ahead and say it once right now. Now get creative with an accent. Fun right?
