Nipsey Hussle, born Ermias Asghedom, would have turned 38 today, August 15, 2023. He was a Grammy-nominated rapper, entrepreneur, and community activist. He was known for his conscious lyrics and his commitment to investing in his community. In 2018, he was shot and killed outside of his clothing store in Los Angeles. Hussle was born in Crenshaw, Los Angeles, and grew up in the city's notorious South Central neighborhood. He began rapping at a young age and released his first mixtape, Slauson Boy Vol. 1, in 2005. He released several more mixtapes in the following years, building a loyal fan base. In 2013, he released his debut studio album, Victory Lap, which was critically acclaimed and nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Rap Album. In addition to his music career, Hussle was also a successful entrepreneur. He founded the Marathon Clothing Company, a clothing store that sold his own line of clothing as well as clothing from other local designers. He also founded the Vector90 co-working space, which provided affordable workspace for entrepreneurs and creatives. Hussle was a vocal advocate for his community and used his platform to speak out against violence and poverty. He founded the Neighborhood Nip Foundation, which provided resources to young people in South Central Los Angeles. He also organized the "Crenshaw Marathon," a community event that brought together residents from different parts of the city. Hussle's death was a major loss to the hip hop community and to his community in South Central Los Angeles. He was a talented artist, a successful entrepreneur, and a dedicated activist. He will be remembered for his music, his business acumen, and his commitment to making his community a better place. In the years since his death, Hussle's legacy has continued to grow. He has been honored with a posthumous Grammy Award, a mural in his hometown, and a clothing line in his name. His music continues to be popular, and his message of hope and empowerment continues to inspire people around the world. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Speaking of a thousand points of light, my guest today is Wes Adkins, a math teacher at James Campbell High School in Ewa Beach, the largest school in all of Hawai‘i. He proudly works in an inclusion classroom, promotes self-paced learning environments, and implements project based learning assessments. Nipsey Hustle and Vector90 inspired him to work in STEM education and teach students the skills for locally minded entrepreneurship. A first generation college graduate and a film buff all his life, Wes recently won a $25,000 Education Innovation Teacher Challenge grant for his proposal to have his students create the Ewa Beach Drive-In. The award was given by Farmer's Insurance Hawaii and the Public Schools of Hawai'i Foundation. Wes sees launching a drive-in cinema as a great way to harness his students' varied interests and help them develop diverse skills, from engineering the movie screen to curating and creating films, and developing business plans, computer apps, even recipes for the snack bar. “The possibilities are limitless,” Wes notes. “I'm a firm believer that if you can just find something that you love, you can learn about the rest of the world through that thing that you love.” Wes is also deeply interested in culturally responsive pedagogy, ethnomathematics and the “gamification” of learning, especially math. A Teach for America corps member, Wes is in only his third year as a math teacher. “You wouldn't know that he is a math teacher because he integrates so many things,” James Campbell High School Principal, Jon Henry Lee once said. “And that's what's going to make the learning that much more powerful for the student. It comes from these integrated projects where you connect the dots. He captures their imagination first. A lot of students, the second you talk about geometry or math and things like that, sometimes it turns them off, right? But if you talk about a project that incorporates all the things they care about, whether its the marketing, pulling together the engineering, creating stories … that's what clicks with students,” notes Principal Lee. Wes hails from California and his wife is from Japan, so Hawai'i is a perfect midway point for their growing family. His first year at James Campbell High School was disrupted by the pandemic, but his students are now fully back on campus. Wes has an undergraduate degree in film and digital media production from the University of California at Santa Cruz, and a masters in culturally responsive education from Ashford University in Clinton, Iowa.  My editor and creative consultant is Evan Kurohara.

“Selon l’origine sociale, il n’y a pas plus de droit à l’échec”Quand on regarde les équipes de dev on trouve très peu de diversité. A une époque où le besoin de développeurs est si fort, pourquoi tout le monde n’a pas accès à ce formidable métier ? Nous faisons un métier formidable qui a la capacité de changer le monde. Ce que nous créons a un impact fort sur les société. Et cette absence de diversité nous fait créer des services qui ne peuvent pas être toujours utilisés par l’ensemble de la population. Ce manque de diversité est un véritable frein.Nous commençons aujourd’hui une série de 4 épisodes autour de la diversité et la représentativité. Ce nouvel épisode d’IFTTD - If This Then Dev, présenté par Bruno Soulez et produit par CosaVostra, s'intéresse à la diversité ethnique et sociale dans les équipes techniques, les disparités d’évolution de carrière entre les différentes populations.Le D.E.V. de la semaine est Quinchy Riya, co-fondateur de Anatoletools. Quinchy vient nous parler d’un constat d’échec dans les équipes actuelles mais aussi les solutions qui existent, et les exemples à suivre. On y parle des réseaux dédiés, du besoin de représentativité pour les plus jeunes, et comment combattre les biais.Liens évoqués pendant l’émission POCIT : https://peopleofcolorintech.com/ (réseau & plateforme qui raconte les histoires des personnes racisées travaillant dans la tech aux USA & notamment dans la silicon valley )Vector90 : https://www.vector90.com/ (incubateur & espace de co-working à los angeles)Women 2.0 : http://women2.com/ (réseau féminin qui milite pour un écosystème start-up & tech plus inclusif et diversifié)Latinas think big : http://latinasthinkbig.com/ (autre réseau féminin mais focus sur la communauté latino-américaine qui milite pour un écosystème start-up & tech plus inclusif et diversifié)Retrouvez tous nos épisodes sur notre site https://ifttd.io/listes-des-episodes/Continuons la discussionRetrouvez Quinchy :Anatoletools : https://anatoletools.com/ (logiciel SaaS pour marché de l’art)Twitter Anatoletools: https://twitter.com/anatoletools LinkedIn Anatoletools : https://www.linkedin.com/company/anatoletools Twitter Perso : https://twitter.com/Dan_Dunne LinkedIn Perso : https://www.linkedin.com/in/quinchy-riya-67913427/ Garage Paris : https://legarage.paris (tiers lieu proposant des talks, evènements & de la Ou Bruno:@ifthisthendev (https://twitter.com/ifthisthendev)@bibear (https://twitter.com/bibear)Discord (https://discord.gg/FpEFYZM)Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/ifthisthendev/)LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/company/if-this-then-dev/)
