Inclusive UX Writing: Gender, Race & Age

🎉 Writing For A Diverse Audience – Part 2 🌐👩‍🎨👨‍💻

Understanding Inclusive UX Writing 🤔

Our identity encompasses our ethnicity, gender, and age. These elements are deeply rooted in how we perceive the world and interact with it, including our digital experiences. In the realm of UX Writing, this means ensuring that our language resonates with and respects users from all walks of life.
