The mainstream sort of presentation of the civil rights movement was not something that I directly inherited.
I hit the road with a bunch of drag queens every year, sometimes two times a year. Again, as such a fan of drag, it’s the art form that excites me and the longform presentation that they do. So it’s super exciting to be with them, doing what they love to do and doing it well.

About every other week, I sit down with all of our new Zynga hires and I talk to them for about 90 minutes, have an open Q&A. There is no formal presentation. I talk about our values, where they came from and why they are so important, and I ask them to challenge those values.
Yorkshire knew how important Scarborough was for me. So I was awarded my county cap there in 2011. That first cap is one of the most precious things I own. The club didn’t tell me that I’d be receiving it, but instead tipped off my mum, making sure she saw the presentation.
