Dan Kihanya is the Director of REI's Path Ahead Ventures, a $30 million fund aimed at supporting founders of color in the outdoor industry. Launched in 2021, this program focuses on providing resources, mentorship, and funding to help diverse entrepreneurs start and scale their businesses. They have multiple programs like Embark (for early-stage founders), Navigate (for enterprise-ready founders that could sell into REI) as well as the more traditional fund – all built to meet Founders where they are in the journey. In this episode we discuss how diversity drives innovation and how Path Ahead is closing the gap between the 1% of founders who identify as a person of color vs. the 30%+ of outdoor participants identifying as such.

To truly understand what is going on in this upcoming election, you have to remove your personal biases and values and view the actions and events that have happened with objectivity and an impartial perspective.

“The sense that each of them is gently teasing the other, and each enjoying the matching of wits. For all of the interesting people Jesus meets in John, I think this individual is the most interesting and that's part of why this story is there in the Gospel. There's a word game. A kind of “He said – She said”. The Samaritan woman starts by using the literal meaning of words and Jesus starts by using the symbolic meaning, and then, just when you realize what they're doing, they both switch and do the opposite. It takes two people to do that, and to enjoy it. I can almost imagine Jesus smiling at the joke when the woman talks to him. And her smiling back. In short, maybe these two liked each other. Give me some water, says Jesus. Clear enough. He wants the wet liquid. You're a Jew, she answers. Theological. She's stalling. If only you knew, I'd give you living water, he says. Wait a minute – all of a sudden we're not exactly talking about H2O anymore. Give me some of that living water that ends thirst, says the woman, and I won't need to haul it up the hill. Making fun of Jesus and his flipping back and forth…just a little. Water, water, water, and water, but not the same meaning each time. Literal, figurative, symbolic, real – lots of the double entendres that are characteristic of flirting, and all in only a couple of verses!” -https://unsettledwords.com/2014/03/21/did-jesus-flirt/.

“That's how I found out that I was on the spectrum!…” Series Kick Off Thursday June 14, 2023 I was recently diagnosed with Autism in July 2022 while I was employed at PRX Media. I'm no longer at that company I was let go in July 2022. Instead of support I was placed on a PIP (Professional Improvement Plan) soon after I reported to HR about the bullying and harassment by my manager when I revealed to her that I suspected that I might be on the spectrum as I was having difficulty with my job. I never signed an NDA with PRX Media so I'm free to talk about this. I have also received word that my former manager has been fired 10 months after I was let go. Inspired by what happened to me at PRX, I wanted to produce podcast episodes on Adults who got later in life ASD diagnosis in Women, LGBT+, and People of Color. Autism in women is easily missed as the traits and markers are based on white males on the spectrum. How autism is expressed in women differs, but there are some overlap. LGBT and POC who are on the spectrum are at risk of discrimination in the workplace. My hope is that this Adult Autism Series will help to provide support to the adult woman, LGBT+ and Person Of Color who is on the Spectrum who maybe struggling and feeling hopeless while at work or in their day to day life. Just because were on the spectrum doesn't make us incapable! We have a lot to offer and contribute, so why aren't we given the chance? That's my big question I hope to find some answers, validation, and sustainable solutions as I navigate this aspect of myself and continue to heal.   The Adult Autism Series will cover how to navigate work/career, Autistics who have their own businesses, Autistics who are living independently how they did it, what was/or not helpful when it comes to independent living, social dynamics, family, dating/marriage, being single/solo, LGBT+, meltdowns/burnout, people of Color on the spectrum. This is for the Adult Autistic who is struggling and is looking for support and apply real solutions in living an abundant life while on a budget. If you are an Adult who got a later in life diagnosis (Official or Self Diagnosis) and there was a topic that you would like to cover or be a guest on the show? Email porasspodcast@gmail.com DISCLAIMER: - I'm not going to pretend to have experience I don't have when it comes to support for the Adult Autistic. I will reach out to other Adult Autistics who would like to come on the pod and share their experience. - We will address Assumptions, Misconceptions & the Reality of Adult Autism - There maybe comments about Spectrum Levels (Level 1, 2, 3). I only mention my level as that is what I was told by my ASD evaluator. Spectrum is Spectrum I won't be focusing on levels. I'll be focusing on Lived Experience and resources that work for me and what works for my guest(s).

“People think once you raise money, that it gets easier. No. You only have more to prove.” - Sofiat AbdulrazaaqYears ago, Sofiat wanted to check out a food truck a friend had recommended and was unable to find it. This catapulted her and her friends into a journey to create GoodFynd, a way to connect customers to mobile businesses, helping food trucks to be more visible and profitable.Sofiat is a first-generation American, born to immigrants from Nigeria. After getting a law degree and working in the field, she still had entrepreneurship in the back of her mind, influenced by her grandmother growing up. When her co-founder came to her with the idea for GoodFynd, she knew it was time to dive in. Sofiat tells us about the impact of the company beyond food, helping diverse business owners and bringing accessibility to affordable, authentic cuisine in food deserts. Sofiat discusses what she calls “servant leadership” and how she's found success with that mindset. In this episode, Carol and Sofiat talk about how she met her co-founders and how being friends has caused issues but has also been helpful in situations. You'll hear about the process of getting funded as both a person of color and a woman and how an unexpected call transformed the journey. Learn more about Sofiat Abdulrazaaq and GoodFynd.

Dharma talk by Shozoku Nomura on Sunday, October 30, 2022.

Diversity hasn't always been a major part of the world of venture capital and startups.But founders of different ethnicities, cultures, and backgrounds have started entering the market in a big way. As that's happened, it's been amazing to watch the ever-changing landscape of founders starting their own companies.In this special Funded episode, we look back and hear the stories of diverse founders we got to encounter the last two seasons: Erin Carpenter, Isharna Walsh, Nicole Emrani Green, and Kameale Terry.All of them had their own different challenges to overcome, but shared one thing in common: an uncommon drive to succeed. ---------- If you're looking for more fundraising content, grab my weekly newsletter packed full of strategies and insights around how to raise money: fundedpod.com/newsletter 

When we talk about a startup successfully raising money after being part of a Techstars accelerator, that's not an unusual story. But did you know that only 0.3% of all venture capital funding goes to black women?For Deborah Gladney, co-founder and CEO of QuickHire, this was a reality every day as she and her sister built their company with not many connections, low-balled valuations, and many more roadblocks.“After we were able to successfully raise, what was so apparent was how rare it was because we didn't realize that we were actually the first black women in Kansas to even raise a million dollars or more in venture capital. It was 2021 and to be the first, that tells you the disparities that are apparent in the industry,” Deborah says.Listen as Deborah shares her experience as a black entrepreneur, how she utilized her advisors to advocate for her startup, and why representation is such an important area for both investors and startups.Also, don't miss Deborah talk about the 2021 Techstars Iowa Accelerator that she was a part of and how the Give First mantra has helped to remove opportunity barriers for others through QuickHire.Follow QuickHire on Twitter @getquickhireFollow David Cohen on Twitter @davidcohenListen & subscribe to the Give First podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and more.

Just because we are minorities does not mean that we view our struggles the same. Many Persons of Color are anti-Black. Many minorities will side with a White person if it means they can be near the proximity of Whiteness. I am not a POC. I am Black.

Passing as a POC. Rewarding people and groups because they are slightly or completely non-white is just as unacceptable as the previous wrong of punishing people and groups for having exactly that physical trait. Both are blatantly racist, and have no place either in our hearts or in our country. This 10 minute episode will help us in our lives, and help us to think through the issues surrounding us. N.B. This blog acts as a transcript and a signpost, pointing you to this episode on both the new Revolution 2.0™ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCw5CDliD-PRQE_8bO4Eg98Q (YouTube) channel, and where you enjoy your podcasts, e.g., https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/revolution-2-0/id1353135552 (Apple), https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9yZXZvbHV0aW9uMi0wLm9yZy9mZWVkL3BvZGNhc3Qv (Google) and https://open.spotify.com/show/6rr6fi3AMW0GoAfYQ64lf9 (Spotify).   Continuing In the earlier, ugly days of racist America, if a person was in any way noticeably black, they were treated as all black. And especially in the slave and Jim Crow states, that was done to create an unfair and undeserved advantage for the whites; they even had names indicating your fraction of offending blackness. Someone who was half black would have been called a mulatto. A quadroon was ¼ black, and an octoroon ⅛ black. I would have been a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Like_Me (hexadecaroon). It was terrible, cruel and is a remaining stain on our nation. On the other hand if you had any portion of black blood but looked white, you were said to be able to “pass,” pass as being white–a huge advantage. Appearances were all. And for those many continuing to seek advantage today, still are. Today, if you have the slightest amount of non-white features, you can pass as a POC, a person of color. And today this is the advantage. This is just as unfair and wrong, and is done to give unfair advantage to people who look in any way non-white. Today's color preference flip is still wrong, unfair and needs to be stopped now. All we have done is flip the evil. Story: In 1969, a Star Trek episode showed the hatred and unfairness that existed between two differently colored peoples on the planet Cheron. Each group had half black and half white faces, with a vertical dividing line down the middle of their faces. The group whose faces were black on the right side felt justifiably and completely superior to the group whose faces were white on the right side. This developed into a race hatred that completely baffled the crew of the Starship Enterprise. As it should have. It made no sense at all. Insane and damaging. Flipping the colors side-to-side makes all the difference? Takes an evil and makes it into a good? And it's exactly what we are doing today. Black or POC used to be bad and white good, and now black is good and white is bad. Insane and damaging. This kind of insanity breeds absurdities that underscore the wrongness. For example, taking calculated advantage of the race flip, Rachel Dolezal, a white woman born to white parents, faked being black to the point where she became an NAACP chapter president. Senator Elizabeth Warren, D-MA, gained advantage in her work and in politics by pretending to be Native American. And stranger things yet fall out of this insanity. George Zimmerman, a man of mixed race, was accused–and acquitted–of murdering Treyvon Martin, a black youth. The identity politics crowd felt the need to invent a new term, “White Mexican,” to describe Zimmerman, who is clearly a POC. Lots of twisting and shouting needs to be done to make everything black and white–with the white at fault. President Biden said loud and clear that he was going to select a black female as his running mate in 2020. Seems that being half-black and all female helped qualify Ms. Harris to be our Vice President. Despite having paltry support even from her home state of California in her quickly failed presidential run....

“Not seeing color” isn't an option for some of us. Whether we like it or not, the experience of minority groups is different. But that's not always a bad thing. In fact, being different can be an asset.  Overcoming the challenges unique to POC can make you the kind of entrepreneur who's uniquely qualified to […] The post MBA1901 Running a Business as a Person of Color appeared first on The $100 MBA.

Calling blacks and other minorities "People of Color" is a racist lumping of all non-white people effectively making them appendages to the white race. Call me black, call me African American - that is who I am. Who are people without color? Why are white people not called, "People of Color"? Because they created the rule and installed themselves at the top of their racialized hierarchical society.

In this episode Arshia and special guest, Nandita, talk about their experiences as people of color in a community that has a majority white population.

In the last episode before a summer break,the Rabbis debate over debates.Rabbi Bechhofer believes that it is a mistake for the RCA to sponsor a "debate lishem shamayim" of how our community should relate to the Black Lives Matter movement.Bechhofer cogently describes why responses like "all lives matter" remains deeply offensive even to blacks who don't necessarily align themselves with the movement.Having a white man assume the "critical" position and another white man respond from the "sympathetic" side,can only result in a non edifying experience,along with a possible public relations debacle.Bechhofer notes that a debate by its very nature doesn't result in admission,it is staged to produce a winner,an idea he feels is antithetical to the Torah.Rabbi Kivelevitz responds with a brief examination of works of art,ancient dialogues,and classic medieval Rabbinic literature that served as a model for Rav Moshe Chaim Luzzatto's most effective works.These were all written in the form of a "vikuach" - a way to capture interest and bring home issues in a dramatic entertaining way,and lead to a thoughtful nuanced reaction by the leader/listener.Although Kivelevitz admits it would have been more prudent to have had an African-American involvement,he feels that the RCA deserve credit for tackling the issue while other Torah agencies are silent or openly hostile.While the speakers and moderator come from a white modern-Orthodox suburban world,Kivelevitz feels that the exercise is comparable to the experiment Jane Elliot administered to her young students in the wake of Dr.Martin Luther King's assassination. The all white Iowa school children were effected by "one of their own" with the aggressive first step out towards racial harmony in the"Blue Eyes/Brown Eyes Exercise."The pair agree over the dearth of solid oratory in the Rabbinic world and both give a thumbs up to the Denzel Washington vehicle-"The Great Debaters".comments and criticism welcome atravkiv@gmail.comFor more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
