❤️ 5 Small Businesses to Support this Hispanic Heritage Month

Hey folks 👋🏽 

It’s been a big week for content at Buffer this week! We had a tweet go semi-viral (leading to some fun interactions), we launched season 2 of our podcast Small Business, Big Lessons, and we launched our 2023 State of Remote Work survey — all while publishing consistently on the blog. Phew 😮‍💨

Speaking of the blog, this week, we published several great articles. Umber highlights five small businesses to support this Hispanic Heritage Month. We wrote articles about cultivating communities and turning down $$$ featuring the businesses of the podcast. And Hailley wrote a great article about how we set communications expectations as a fully remote team.

Hope you have a lovely start to the week, and we’ll see you next Monday!

P.S. If you work remotely (even just some of the time), we’re curious about what the experience has been like for you in our State of Remote Work survey. Check it out here!

Warmly, 

Tami & the Buffer team
