Micropedia – sleek, intuitive resource on microaggressions

Fast Company: “…Now, there’s a new tool to help combat microaggressions. Micropedia is an encyclopedic website that features everyday microaggressions that those from marginalized groups face. At a time when many are worried about being “cancelled” for saying something offensive, the Micropedia aims to be a nonjudgmental way for people to learn about what might make someone else feel uncomfortable…Stephanie Yung, head of design at the creative agency Zulu Alpha Kilo, led the design and creation of the Micropedia. She, along with many on her team, had experienced microaggressions over the course of their lives but couldn’t find a reliable one-stop resource for tackling them. “You might find an academic article about the impact of microaggressions, or a media story about a particular offensive comment,” she says. “But we wanted to created a place where people could come to learn about the range and breadth of microaggressions.”..
