This week on the Allyship in Action Podcast, Julie Kratz is joined by Sona Khosla, Chief Impact Officer at Benevity. Inclusion is about having courage to keep doing good when it feels like the world's spinning the other way. And that's exactly what Sona and Julie dove into this week – this idea that even when the news is full of noise and doubt, there's a powerful current of good still flowing, quietly and persistently. It's about finding that inner strength, that "baked-in cake" resilience, and reminding ourselves that this work, this striving for inclusion and impact, it's not a trend, it's our DNA. Key takeaways from this conversation: The Quiet Persistence of Impact: Despite the noise and pushback, many companies are quietly increasing their investments in CSR and DEI initiatives, recognizing the long-term value and employee expectations. Data-Driven Advocacy: The importance of leveraging data and metrics to demonstrate the ROI of inclusion and impact initiatives, moving beyond emotional appeals to tangible business benefits. The Long Game of Legacy: Focusing on the enduring impact and legacy of leadership, rather than short-term reactions to current pressures, emphasizing that this work is about long-term human connection and value. The Power of Small, Consistent Actions: Emphasizing that even small, consistent actions, like internal communication and employee listening sessions, can make a significant difference in maintaining a sense of belonging and commitment. Generational Values Driving Change: Highlighting the influence of millennials and Gen Z in shaping workplace values and consumer expectations, reinforcing that inclusion is not a passing trend but a fundamental shift. Insightful Quotes: "It's just how it is, the nature of progress, we will progress, we'll take steps back, but we will progress. I fundamentally believe that resistance is a part of progress." "What's the risk of inaction and what do I know for sure that will be enduring?" "When you design your systems for all like you benefit all." "Employees want to hear the commitment right now." Actionable Allyship Takeaway: Start a conversation. Even if your company seems quiet on DEI, initiate a lunch-and-learn or team discussion about the data and trends shared in Sona's research. Talking about it, even in a small group, reinforces that these values matter and builds a sense of community.

Guhyaloka—the ‘Secret Valley'—has been the Triratna Buddhist Community's primary place for men's ordination since 1987. Over 600 men have become Order members there. It has therefore been vitally important in helping to shape what the Triratna community offers the world today. But for it to thrive into the future, Guhyaloka needs to undergo major renovations, which requires financial support. To find out how you can help, please visit: https://guhyaloka.org/fortheages Donate now: http://justgiving.com/campaign/Guhyaloka The Hands of Avalokitesvara Can you be a part of making Guhyaloka a place of ordination ‘For the Ages'? We need to raise £850,000 As its primary purpose has been to support the witnessing of effective Going for Refuge—the central Buddhist act—Guhyaloka has become steeped in the blessings of the Buddhas. Your donation will ensure this continues so that the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas can be as present in the valley as the rocks are, as the forest is, as the breeze that blows through the open door of the shrine room as each man prostrates to the image of the Refuge Tree. “Far from the roar of traffic Far from the frantic crowd, I feel my soul expanded With dreams not disallowed.” Urgyen Sangharakshita, ‘Guhyaloka, July 1998'

In this episode of BioTalk, host Rich Bendis welcomes Sona Shah, CEO and Co-Founder of Neopenda, for an inspiring conversation on innovation, impact, and scaling medical technology in underserved markets. Sona shares how a formative experience teaching in rural Kenya ignited her passion for global health, leading to the creation of neoGuard, a wearable vital signs monitor tailored for low-resource settings. They discuss the engineering challenges of building clinical-grade hardware for hospitals with limited infrastructure, the company's growth from Maryland's Relevant Health accelerator, and the deployment of over 350 devices across East and West Africa. Sona also talks about Neopenda's next wave of products, lessons in balancing cost and quality, and the importance of community, resilience, and mission-driven entrepreneurship. Editing and post-production work for this episode was provided by The Podcast Consultant. Sona Shah is the CEO and Co-founder of Neopenda, a company dedicated to improving healthcare access in emerging markets. Neopenda develops innovative medical technologies—such as the neoGuard system—designed to help healthcare providers deliver high-quality care in low-resource settings. The company's mission is to make life-saving technology available where it's needed most. Sona's path into global health innovation began during a semester teaching primary school in Kenya, where she witnessed firsthand the challenges faced by under-resourced healthcare systems. That experience, paired with her background in biomedical engineering, inspired her to co-found Neopenda in 2015. Since then, the company has focused on delivering scalable, impactful solutions to countries including Kenya, Uganda, and Ghana, with a long-term goal of reaching the next billion people who could benefit from better access to care. She remains committed to advancing tech-driven healthcare solutions that make a meaningful difference in the world's most underserved communities.

Sona Nanotech CEO David Regan joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce a groundbreaking Research Agreement with BioVaxys Technology Corp. aimed at developing a novel class of cancer therapeutics. The collaboration unites two innovative technologies: BioVaxys' Immune Educating Platform (DPX) and Sona's Targeted Hyperthermia Therapy (THT), powered by proprietary gold nanorod technology. Sona's THT is an advanced photothermal cancer therapy that uses near-infrared light to generate localized heat within solid tumors. This thermal energy is delivered through Sona's biocompatible gold nanorods, which not only destroy tumor cells but also stimulate a strong immune response—a crucial factor in combating cancer recurrence. The research will explore how BioVaxys' DPX platform, known for priming the innate immune system, can further enhance this immune response when used in tandem with THT. “The potential synergy between these two technologies could significantly accelerate the immune system's ability to recognize and attack tumors,” said Regan. One area of focus is the use of DPX to deliver tumor-specific neoantigens—unique proteins that emerge after cancer cell mutations and are absent from healthy tissues. Since THT can induce these mutations and neoantigen expression, pairing it with DPX could dramatically improve immune system targeting and treatment efficacy. Essentially, THT triggers changes in tumor cells, and DPX packages those changes for the immune system to attack. The research initiative is supported by the Giacomantonio Immuno-Oncology Research Group, which will fund the preclinical studies. Both companies will contribute their core technologies to the collaboration. Any new therapeutic candidate developed will be jointly owned and prosecuted by BioVaxys and Sona, with a commercialization agreement planned ahead of a potential Phase 1 clinical trial. #proactiveinvestors #sonananotechinc #cse #sona #otcqb #snanf #CancerResearch #MelanomaTreatment #BioVaxys #DPXTechnology #ClinicalTrials #TargetedTherapy #GoldNanorods #OncologyInnovation #ProactiveInvestors

Sona Falstaff, a hospital nurse in Bombay, has things more or less where she wants them. Yes, she faces a certain discrimination, positive and negative, because of her mixed heritage, which makes her a “half-half” in the lingo of 1930s India. She lives in a poor section of the city, and she must work to support herself and her aging mother. India itself is a state of flux as the British Raj comes to an end and demands for independence increase in intensity and volume. But all in all, Sona wants nothing more than to cling to the job and the life she knows. Yet when the painter Mira Novak is admitted to the hospital, she upends Sona's carefully constructed world. Mira's vibrancy, passion, and generosity awaken a yearning to explore that Sona didn't even know she had. But just as she begins to cherish the possibility of friendship, Mira dies, six days after entering the hospital. The job Sona loves is threatened by suspicion that she somehow contributed to the painter's death. Sona soon discovers that Mira has left her a set of four paintings with instructions to deliver them to their rightful owners. Now she faces a choice: fight for her job and play it safe at home, or take a chance on finding her true self in the wider world, whatever risk that involves? The contrast between Sona and Mira, the friendship that develops between them, and the slowly revealed history that lies beneath Sona's reluctance to take chances are all beautifully laid out in this well-written novel, making Six Days in Bombay (Mira Books, 2025) a delight to read. Alka Joshi is the internationally bestselling author of the Jaipur Trilogy: The Henna Artist, The Secret Keeper of Jaipur, and The Perfumist of Paris. Six Days in Bombay is her fourth novel. C. P. Lesley is the author of two historical fiction series set during the childhood of Ivan the Terrible and four other novels. Her next book, Song of the Steadfast, is due in 2025.
