give me a helping hand. He always made himself available to help, and I was so excited when our paths crossed in person at AccessU. You were always someone I admired and looked up to, and someone I consider a mentor. #GoodbyeTeleject
Today my friend and ARTIFACT Conference cofounder, Christopher Schmitt (@teleject), was laid to rest. My deepest condolences to @ari4nne and all of C's family. He was a lovable geek and a good man. What a loss. #GoodbyeTeleject
Chris and I were industry friends for a decade, and I jumped at the chance to work with him whenever I could. There was no one kinder than Chris – he was a good soul through and through. 💔 #goodbyeTeleject
Thank you, @teleject, and @ari4nne, for believing in putting me and others on stage, for showing us what an inclusive tech conf could feel like on and offline at a time when very few events cared about things like Codes of Conduct. Thanks for being a good person. #GoodbyeTeleject
