VANESSA'S BIO Vanessa Velasquez is a young leader and should give us all hope and excitement about the future of America. Raised by a single mom in Vero Beach, Florida, she was most recently a White House Fellow and attaché to the Secretary of the Navy. She will continue to serve the country in an innovation focused role at the Department Of Defense. While she's had to learn an alphabet soup of strange government acronyms she excelled and has been one of the youngest Fellows in history. A remarkable human who happens to be a Latina. Some past White House Fellows include CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta, NBCUniversal Chairman César Conde, Director of the National Economic Council and past Federal Reserve Board Governor Lael Brainard, Compass founder Robert Reffkin and Wes Moore, the Governor of Maryland. They know how to pick them and Vanessa's “pinch myself moment” is as humbling as it is deserving.  Vanessa gained early and  valuable experience at two of the most successful companies in the world, at Apple as a Global Supply Manager and at Amazon, where she supervised crews at fulfillment center operations, eventually doing corporate development work at Seattle headquarters focused on Amazon's engagement with millions of Hispanic small businesses. Vanessa dedicates her time in and out of work to underserved communities. She mentors Hispanic Scholarship Fund scholars to and served as the inaugural Director of Fulfillment Center and Community Engagement at Glamazon, Amazon's LGBTQ+ Employee Resource Group. (host comment: Glamazon is a pretty amazing name, for sure.) She is the youngest Top Of The Gamer hosted by the show.

In this episode we're talking about the Supreme Court's recent decision to strike down race-conscious admission and what the implications might be for colleges, students applying to those colleges, and the counselors who advise them. And what better person to talk about it with than Jay Rosner, whose entire career has been devoted to the intersection of law and college admissions. This is the first in a series where we'll be exploring the impacts of the SCOTUS decision from a variety of perspectives.   Jay Rosner and I get into:  What the affirmative action ruling practically means  How it might impact college admissions, including for underrepresented students We address some students' fears about whether or not they should mention their race, or share experiences directly related to their race or culture in their college applications I ask Jay: “Who is the burden on here—students or the colleges themselves?”  We also talked about how counselors should advise students   For those of you who have never met Jay: As the Executive Director of The Princeton Review Foundation, he has developed programs jointly with such organizations as the NAACP, the Hispanic Scholarship Fund, College and Graduate Horizons (serving Native American students) and the Asian Pacific Fund.

[13:00] Should students even mention race at all in their applications? [15:39] Is the burden really on the students or on the colleges? [17:20] How can students speak to the ways race has impacted their lives? [18:50] Advice to counselors on guiding students on their college applications [21:38] Do colleges still want to enroll a diverse population of students?  [23:36] What might colleges learn from the University of California, where race-conscious admission was banned in 1996?

[31:03] Final takeaways for students and counselors Resources:  Example of How to Explain (Briefly) Context on Your Testing in the Additional Info Section of Your Common App AP Physics I I was the first student at my school to ever pass the AP Physics I exam. There were two issues during the test: 1) the test began late because the previous test (AP Spanish) ran long and 2) during the AP Physics I exam, the fire alarms went off and continued for about an hour (the second half of the test). Unfortunately, this was the only time the test was offered and I was nonetheless proud of my score. Highest SAT Score in My Class Scored a 1910 on old SAT (570 CR, 730 Math, 610 WR), which was the highest overall test score in my grade.

He is the author of three novels including Silence the Bird, Silence the Keeper (2015, Mixer Publishing) which won the Hispanic Scholarship Fund & McNamara Family Creative Arts Grant, Gods On the Lam (2017, Perpetual Motion Machine), and Word Is Bone (2019, Broken River Books), winner of the International Latino Book Award.

Ex-con June returns to Los Angeles to bury his father, and in the process brings violence and mayhem to everyone he encounters. Low-rent gangsters fight dogs and pistols shoot quiet through potato silencers, and at the center of this sweltering California Gothic and its surreal and colorful cast of characters is the love story of Kiddy and June, two wild young people separated by circumstance and time, trying not to love each other against their better instincts.“Christopher Rosales' writing in Word is Bone is so vibrant and dirty with street-level intimacy like a lot of hip-hop: think Kendrick Lamar's “Money Trees” and Domino's “Getto Jam.” These are stories from the stoops, laundromats, canals and alleyways, that show how a community weaves narrative webs to understand their own truths. So, here we go, here we go as the tune starts to bloom.” —Steven Dunn, author of Potted Meat and water & powerOfficial Website: https://www.christopherrosales.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/christopher.d.rosales Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chrisdrosales/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/CDRosales Support the show

In this episode, you'll hear from José Ruiz, a San Francisco native born to Nicaraguan parents who early on instilled in him the importance of college education. He is a senior at Seattle University currently majoring in Strategic Communication. As a first-generation student, José realized that he was a bit older than most of his peers, as a result of a three-year break he took from school, but was excited to be back. The perceived lack of students of color on campus also made it difficult for him to find his community. He credits his professors at the Department of Communication who've made him feel like "I belong, and I have talent, and I'm in the right department."
