Hello, I am Rosie, your MoTaverse Weekly host.
Have you been following our community algorithm updates? Perhaps you MoTiced a “Weekly stars digest” email in your inbox this morning? Or maybe you read about how about how we've ditched the like button in favour of ‘thanks’?
We are in constant iteration and improvement in the MoTaverse and every day we are adding ways to engage and track your learning. This is not only to give you credibility, but it is also being designed ethically aware to help you grow your quality career. This is community as a service.
Every contribution matters. Every piece of content leads to learning. Even Observatory links you click are considered as a learning opportunity. And there are multiple ways to connect and support one another. Let's show up together, life is better that way.

What's else is new in the MoTaverse?
📸 At MoTaCon we had a dedicated MoTographer, so we thought we'd take that a step further and invite him to MoT London. We have zero regrets about this! The photos came out fab. In the MoTaverse, our goal is to make y'all be more visible and seen as the awesome people you are.
You can currently view them on the Ten10 company page, ⭐️ thanks ⭐️ to them for hosting with the drinks, food and venue. Alternatively, check out the MoT London collection.
Our MoTography feels like an extra value add to all the things we do. It helps people see how much we care about the work we do.
