Happy Wednesday to you all!

Do you remember me? It’s okay if you don’t because it has been quite a long time but let me jog your memory.

My name is Jennifer Opal! I’m a DevOps Engineer at Dropbox, a Neurodiversity & Inclusion Advocate, Write & Keynote Speaker.

It has been a long time since you’ve heard from me but I promise this isn’t spam! You may remember me from early 2021 when you subscribed to The Opal Newsletter for free tech content, free guides & articles about being neurodivergent.

My mental, physical & emotional health was really difficult during that time. While fighting to stay consistent & creative, I lost so much energy & decided to focus inwards & attend therapy.

I’m in a much better place than I was back then. I’ve been healing, I’ve been working, I’ve been learning & I’ve been growing.

I may share what’s been happening when the time is right but in the meantime, I have moved you all over from Revue & Mailchimp to Substack where you can expect a Weekly TL;DR (Too Long, Didn’t Read) of my upcoming talks, technical blogs about career navigation & articles about neurodiversity.

I truly hope I still have your support & I hope you gain inspiration from what I share with you.

Feel free to connect with me on Twitter, Mastodon, TikTok & LinkedIn.

With love,

Jennifer Opal
