ICYMI - The Supreme Court's ruling against affirmative action has prompted conservatives to target corporate diversity programs. On their list are the biggest companies in tech, an industry that has long struggled to hire a diverse workforce. On #POLITICOTech, #StevenOverly talks with me about the potential consequences — for the companies and for their users.

Please tune into the powerful story below! This story is shared by a woman named Cassandra Cean-Owen who has overcome so much as he navigated reentering society and finding a job after being incarcerated. I hope you will take some time to listen and learn from what she has to share with society and hiring managers.I am reminded of the quote a quote I love "Never define someone by their worst day; instead, let compassion define our perception, understanding that within each of us lies the capacity for growth, resilience, and redemption."Fair Chance Hiring is essential because it acknowledges that everyone deserves the opportunity to rebuild their lives and contribute meaningfully to society, regardless of past mistakes. By providing individuals with a second chance, we not only promote social justice and equality but also tap into a pool of diverse talents and perspectives that can enrich workplaces and communities. Unfortunately, millions of people in our country have had their worst moments exposed for too long. Life can be painful for all of us, but for these individuals, the layers of pain and hurt paired with a lack of opportunity are overwhelming.My request to you is to take a moment to listen to some of their stories during Second Chance Month. If you don't listen to understand, you won't care. I'm a firm believer that listening to other people's stories is one of the most powerful things we can do in our life.Below is a powerful story from a woman named Cassandra Cean-Owen who has overcome so much. I hope you will take some time to listen.https://vimeo.com/929664925#hiringmanagers #SecondChanceMonth #Fairchancehiring#Redeemption #Opportunity #HR #Humanresource #talentsourcing #secondchances #Untappedtalent #peoplefirst #thegood #bethechange

Out tomorrow on the Be a Better Ally podcast is a conversation about the role #AI can play in research and how that can be a spark for student advocacy groups to think about information design and communication. In my recent work with schools, I've loved hearing a response to what tools like Consensus, Elicit, and ChatPDF mean for making scholarship more accessible. But the conversation doesn't end there--that's where the creativity begins and the human-centered design work comes to fruition.You can catch the conversation: https://lnkd.in/eDp7Z9XA
