We tell stories with data.
We want our stories to be understood.
The ability to engage data
should not remain
the province of the exceptional.
The ability to engage data
is vitally important
to everyone.
data praxis
theory and practice of identifying data, working with data, finding meaning in data, and telling a story with data.
data praxis is not just an edge case.
data praxis is not just counting.
data praxis is not just academic jargon.
data praxis is agency.
data praxis is self actualization.
