How do you go beyond diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) to justice and liberation? Leaders talk about DEI. But is it more talk versus action? Is DEI enough? Or do we need to move to justice and liberation? For this Women of Color Rise episode, Analiza talks with Jessica Santana, Co-Founder and CEO of America on Tech. She's on the Forbes 30 under 30 list and the New York Non-Profit Media's 40 under 40 Rising Stars list. A graduate of Syracuse and Columbia, she's spoken at Google for Entrepreneurs, the White House, and Bloomberg. When Jessica started her career in technology, she found that the game had been rigged. While she had done everything she was supposed to do and beaten the odds - graduating as one of 18 of a starting class of 118 from high school and then graduating from Syracuse as one of the few women with degrees in Accounting and Information Technology  – she realized the truth. She had been fooled by organizations claiming to value diversity, equity, and inclusion, when the reality was that organizations had few leaders who looked like her. In fact, the entire system is designed to leave people of color out. “Genius is equally distributed. Opportunity is not.” In Women of Color Rise we discuss how to Be the Change. Jessica is a great example of this. Without role models who looked like her, Jessica set out to Be the Change and co-founded America on Tech. Her goals were to move beyond diversity, equity, and inclusion and create an organization that could actually disrupt the system. With this in mind, America on Tech focuses on decreasing the racial wealth gap to Be able to back the politicians to build local businesses to pay for basic resources Economically empower people to so that they can make decisions for themselves Support people of color in operating from a space of abundance instead of scarcity America On Tech focuses on technology since it is the highest growing industry in America. For one software engineer with a starting salary of 88K, they make two times Black and LatinX household income.. Jessica also shares how she has moved from burn out to valuing herself and self-care. Quoting Audrey Lord, “Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.”    Get full show notes and more information here: https://analizawolf.com/ep-40-lead-with-justice-and-liberation-jessica-santana-ceo-america-on-tech

In this week's episode, Mackenzie had the pleasure of sitting down with Jessica Santana and Amarel Tomney to dive into several different topics that touch mothers from all sorts of backgrounds and circumstances. The ladies had an in-depth conversation about the world of European formula feeding. Plus, discussing a breastfeeding condition known as D-MER, which Jessica experienced with both of her children. Dysphoric Milk Ejection Reflex, or D-MER, is a condition affecting lactating women that is characterized by an abrupt dysphoria, or negative emotions, that occur just before milk release and continuing not more than a few minutes. The ladies also shared more about Amarel's VBAC birth, after having endured a less than ideal birth experience via Cesarean with her first. Jessica and Amarel have created a Facebook group that supports women all across the globe in their European formula feeding journeys. Today this group is 20k members strong and Jessica and Amarel run together. In addition to discussing formula feeding, D-MER, and VBACs, the ladies talked through about the power of finding connection, support, and friendship during this season of motherhood. You can find Amarel and Jessica's Facebook group under the name “HIPP and HOLLE formulas parent". As always, thanks for listening! You can find us on IG @abcsofmatrescence.
