Legal Immigrants in America - Podcast Guests on Positive Contributions

THE IMMIGRANT PODCAST IS NOW LIVE ON YOUTUBE! It's time to tell a story that deserves to be heard. Im the co-founder of E! Entertainment Television and now very focused on doing things with a positive social impact. couple that with the fact that my grandparents came here from Turkey Hosted by award-winning journalist Pamela Anchang, The Immigrant Podcast features conversations with legal immigrants who have made extraordinary, positive contributions to our everyday lives and to the fabric of America. Somewhere along the way, we've allowed the conversation about immigration to become dominated by border control and illegal immigration issues. In the process, we've lost sight of something equally important: the incredible contributions that generations of legal immigrants have made to our country. This podcast is about changing that conversation. It's NON-POLITICAL. It's HUMAN. And it's about recognizing the people behind the stories. Our friends, our neighbors, our colleagues, our family members — people who came here legally, worked hard, built businesses, created jobs, enriched our culture, and helped make America what it is today. Now that we're live, we're looking to build something meaningful and far-reaching. We're looking for: Great Guests: Inspiring legal immigrants with compelling stories and meaningful contributions. Strategic Alliances: Organizations and individuals who can help us expand our audience and amplify our message. Sponsors: Companies and brands that identify with our mission and want to be part of something positive. I created this project because I believe these stories deserve a much bigger platform. If you can help in any of these areas, I'd love to hear from you. Email: [email redacted] Or simply DM me here on LinkedIn. It's time we made a concerted effort to recognize and celebrate the people who have positively impacted our lives. Please watch, share, participate, and help us spread the word. THE IMMIGRANT PODCAST. Let's tell their stories. Let's celebrate their contributions.

Black Senior Leaders - Career Journeys & Advice - Black History Month

Representation matters. I'm really excited to share the upcoming episodes of this season's podcast, but I'm always on the look out for new contributors too.

Disabled Adults 18+ - Workplace Experiences & Reasonable Adjustments

Disability and Employment: I Would Like to Share Your Experience. Some of the most useful insights about disability and employment come not from legislation or case law, but from the people who have experienced the workplace first-hand. Following the valuable insights shared by Ross Duncan about dyslexia in the workplace, I would really like to hear from other disabled adults about their own experiences of employment. I use the term “disability” deliberately, reflecting the language of the Equality Act 2010. I am, however, very happy to use an individual’s preferred terminology when describing their own experience, whether that is neurodivergent, autistic, visually impaired or something else. I am interested in what employment has actually been like in practice: the barriers people have faced, the adjustments that have made a difference, examples of good practice, and occasions when employers or workplace systems have fallen short. With permission, I would like to turn individual experiences into separate LinkedIn posts, with one post focusing on one person’s experience. My aim would be to highlight the practical realities of disability and employment alongside the legal framework. This is not intended as an opportunity to litigate individual disputes with employers. I am interested in the broader experience and what others may be able to learn from it. If you would be comfortable sharing your experience, whether positive or negative, please feel free to send me a private message on LinkedIn. That is my preferred way of receiving responses, and I am very happy to anonymise any account if requested.

I'm currently working on a piece focused on the experiences of female-identified LGBTQIA+ founders with chronic conditions and have a few questions I'd love answered to round things out. My goal with the piece is to explore how different intersections of identity can shape the way we build businesses, lead, take risks, define success, and navigate professional life. DM me or (better yet!) fill out the questionnaire in the comments. [Image: Gov.

Chula Vista Residents - Underrepresented Stories - MFA Short

I’m looking for someone to be filmed for a short MFA documentary cinematography class assignment: a brief sit-down interview and a short activity-based interview. No on-camera experience needed. I’m located in Chula Vista, CA, and willing to travel for future projects. I’m especially interested in people with stories, experiences, work, or perspectives that aren’t often represented in film and media. Diversity in the people and stories I film is important to me. If you have a story, background, experience, profession, hobby, or point of view that you don’t often see represented in film or media, I’d especially like to hear from you. You do not need to think of yourself as having a dramatic or extraordinary story. Sometimes the most compelling documentary material is simply a perspective people rarely get the chance to hear. And even if your schedule doesn’t work right now, feel free to reach out. I have several documentary projects coming up, and I’m interested in meeting people whose experiences or work could become the basis for a future story. You do not need any experience being interviewed or appearing on camera. I’m mainly looking for someone who is comfortable talking about something they do, care about, or have experienced. CURRENT PROJECT needs to wrap all filming before OCT 10: Information is listed in the comments.

Instinct Employees & AI Founders - User Growth Analysis

It's been about six months since I left Aptos, and I've spent most of that time deep in AI. I did a few hackathons at the intersection of AI and web3, built small things, broke them, and spent a lot of time thinking about what comes next. I also started a boardgame content page on Instagram with friends, @theboardgameboulevard, and finished Hyrox doubles, which is my biggest flex right now. Before that I spent five years building ecosystems in India. I started The Phoenix Guild in 2022, a diversity-first builder community that eventually ran across 13 chapters and got a lot of people their first crypto job. It's not running anymore but it's still the thing I'm proudest of. Then Hashed Emergent, where I worked on accelerator programs and India Blockchain Week, and then Aptos, where I built out the India ecosystem and later moved into a global role supporting founders. Most of that work was the unglamorous side of growth. Getting builders in the door, keeping them there, and figuring out which programs actually moved a number versus which ones just looked good in a recap post. That's what I'm good at, so I started digging into how AI companies acquire and keep their users, and I'm going to write it up. One company a week, how they grow, where it leaks, and what I'd change. Most of them will be AI companies because that's where I'm spending my time now. I haven't left crypto though, so if you're building there I'd still love to hear from you. First one is Instinct, the assistant you text. They're reportedly raising at a valuation of $10 billion, and the founder shares percentages and averages about users but never how many there are. Tell me where I'm wrong, especially if you're building at one of these companies.

UK ADHD & Autism Clinicians & Researchers - Rising Assessment Demand

Very excited to announce that I am temporarily hanging up my lab coat in exchange for a blazer! 🥼➡️🧥 I have joined UK Parliament as a Nuffield POST Fellow. Over the next three months, I will be working at POST, UK Parliament to produce a POSTnote on the rising demand for ADHD and autism assessment and support across the UK. Since starting my PhD in 2023, I've been fascinated by the intersection of scientific research and policy, and how evidence can help inform parliamentary decision-making and shape public services. I'm excited to explore this important topic, learn more about how Parliament works from the inside, and gain first-hand experience in translating research for Parliamentarians. My first week did not quite go to plan thanks to an unexpected bout of norovirus, but I'm incredibly grateful to the POST team and my fellow Fellows for their kindness, support and warm welcome while I was out of action. A huge thank you to the Nuffield Foundation for funding this fellowship, the POST team for the opportunity, and my PhD supervisors, Bhuvaneish T.Selvaraj, Siddharthan Chandran and Colin Smith, for their encouragement and support throughout. I also want to thank everyone who offered advice, reviewed application drafts and cheered me on during the application process. I genuinely couldn't have done it without you. As I begin this project, I'd love to hear from people working in ADHD, autism and broader neurodevelopmental research, clinical services, education, policy, public health, or the lived-experience community. Please feel free to get in touch if you'd like to connect or share relevant perspectives and evidence. Looking forward to the next three months! #SciPol #SciencePolicy #UKParliament #POSTNote #ADHD #Autism #Neurodiversity #STEMCareers #PhDLife

Women in Security & Commercial Printing - Roles, Barriers & Solutions

WHERE ARE THE WOMEN?A Look at Security Printing Walk onto most security printing factory floors currency, passports, ballot papers and you'll notice something quickly: the press hall is overwhelmingly male. Prepress, plate-making, quality control, engineering maintenance, factory management these have long been treated as "technical" roles, and "technical" has too often quietly meant "men's work." I've spent my career in this industry, and I think it's worth asking plainly: where are the women, and where should they be? They're already here — often in the roles we notice least Women have long been present in security printing, but concentrated in specific corners: quality inspection, finishing and sorting, administration, compliance. These roles are essential — a misrouted sheet of currency or an unaccounted ballot paper is a national security problem, and the people who catch that are often women on the QC line. Yet these roles are rarely the ones that lead to plant management, procurement decisions, or a seat at the table when a country designs its next generation of secured documents. Why the gap matters beyond fairness Security printing sits at the intersection of engineering, chemistry, design, and governance. It is precisely the kind of complex, high-stakes field that benefits from the widest possible pool of talent — not as a slogan, but as a practical matter. A factory that draws only half the available talent pool into its technical and leadership pipeline is operating with a structural disadvantage it doesn't have to accept. What actually opens the door From what I've observed, three things move the needle more than good intentions alone: Deliberate placement in technical training, not just administrative tracks — apprenticeships in prepress, plate-making, and press operation open to women from day one, not as an afterthought. Visible role models in engineering and leadership — it's hard to aspire to a path you've never seen anyone like you walk. Workplace conditions that assume women will be there — from safety equipment sized correctly to shift structures that don't quietly filter people out. A question for the industry, not just an observation As countries across Africa build sovereign printing capability — currency centres, ID and ballot paper facilities — we have a rare chance to design these institutions inclusively from the start, rather than retrofitting fairness onto structures built decades ago elsewhere. That's not just the right thing to do. It's how you build the strongest possible workforce for an industry where precision and trust are the entire product. I'd genuinely like to hear from women working in security and commercial printing — what's your experience been, and what would have opened doors earlier? #SecurityPrinting #WomenInSTEM #WomenInManufacturing #DiversityInIndustry #PrintIndustry #AfricaManufacturing #DocumentSecurity #Currency

Parents & Caregivers of Autistic Children - Lived Experiences Book

💙 YOUR STORY COULD HELP ANOTHER PARENT FEEL LESS ALONE. I am currently collecting real-life experiences from parents and caregivers of autistic children for my upcoming book, The Autistic Child and Parental Struggles: Understanding, Coping and Finding Hope. Behind every diagnosis is a family learning to navigate a new and often overwhelming world. From the first signs and diagnosis to education, communication, social acceptance, finances, emotional exhaustion, family relationships, and the constant search for the right support—parents carry a journey that is rarely understood from the outside. I want this book to go beyond theories and statistics. I want to hear YOUR reality. 💙 If you are a parent, caregiver, teacher, therapist, or someone closely involved with an autistic child, I would be grateful if you could share: 🔹 What was your experience when you first noticed something different? 🔹 What was the journey toward assessment/diagnosis like? 🔹 What has been your biggest challenge as a parent or caregiver? 🔹 How has autism affected family life, finances, relationships, education and social life? 🔹 What kind of support did you need but could not find? 🔹 What misconceptions or hurtful attitudes have you faced? 🔹 What has helped you cope and remain hopeful? 🔹 What do you wish society, schools, healthcare professionals and policymakers understood about your journey? 🔹 What message would you give to another parent who has just received an autism diagnosis for their child? 🌱 Your experience matters. Your challenges matter. Your voice matters. You may share your experience privately through Messenger/inbox if you are not comfortable commenting publicly. Personal identities will not be included without permission. This is not about judging parents or children. It is about listening, understanding and turning lived experiences into knowledge that can create empathy and better support. 📚 Help me make this book a voice for families who are often unheard. Please share this post with parents, caregivers, educators, therapists and others who may have an experience to contribute. #AutismAwareness #AutismParents #AutismFamilies #ParentingAutism #AutismJourney #Neurodiversity #InclusiveEducation #SpecialEducation #ParentalStruggles #AutismSupport #LivedExperience #ParentVoices #AutismAcceptance #ResearchForChange #EveryStoryMatters

Melbourne Artists & Performers - Live Radio Interviews 9-12pm

I'll be doing a temporary takeover of Smart Arts on 3RRR (Triple R Broadcasters Ltd) tomorrow, or as most people would understand it, temporarily filling in for fabulous permanent host Richard Watts. I'm a feature writer, so I usually get to do long and meandering interviews from which I can cherry pick the best quotes and then spends days writing a story that reflects all the nuances of the conversation, plus detailed research and backstory. So, it's a bit terrifying prepping for six live-to-air interviews where anything can happen and I don't have the luxury to wait for the story to reveal itself. On the other hand, it's very good for flexing my thinking-on-my-feet muscles. More importantly, it's such a pleasure and a privilege to interview such a wide range of performers and artists about their work and get an insight into the richness and diversity that is Melbourne's arts culture. Tune in tomorrow from 9-12pm, send a message via the Triple R textline, or listen on demand at anytime at https://www.rrr.org.au/ And many thanks to talks producer Kirby Fary for co-ordinating and organising all the interviews.

Advertising Strategists in India - Standardization, Upbringing & Skills

High-Cognitive-Ability Leaders - Giftedness in High-Stakes Leadership

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡 𝐜𝐨𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐦𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡-𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩? Call it giftedness, high IQ, add some other type of neurodivergence into the mix or don't – either way, it's a question that strikes me as surprisingly underexplored. Perhaps by accident, or perhaps not, over the past few years I have found myself working time and again with a particular sort of leader: They are often exceptionally intelligent, sometimes neurodivergent, and almost always possess an unusual capacity for building expertise and understanding complexity. They're natural innovators who intuitively grasp systems, connect seemingly unrelated ideas, and do all of this at astonishing speed. So much for the obvious advantages. The challenges, however, are far less discussed: The experience of being out of step with one's surroundings. A loneliness that exceeds even the familiar isolation of leadership itself. The constant work of translating one's thinking into forms (or indeed a pace) that organisations and people can actually absorb. An emotional and sensory life that might, in some cases, be as vivid and demanding as their extraordinary cognitive capacity, yet much less visible to those around them. And, not infrequently, a point (often in midlife) where one begins to wonder whether the very capacities that made one so effective – intensity, mastery, obsession, competence – have perhaps come at the expense of other ways of being in the world. This has become the starting point for a research/writing project, and I'm looking to interview leaders who feel they might fit the bill. By which I mean: I won't be checking your Mensa certificate or similar. If this is you, you'll recognise yourself in it, so don't be shy. It's not an academic study, but an exploratory attempt to understand the diversity, nuance, and contradictions of such experiences. Also, I'm by no means looking only for people from corporate life!Over the years, I've had the privilege of working not just with senior executives but also Michelin-starred chefs, Nobel Prize winners and leaders from other fields, e.g. arts and culture. Those are very different worlds on the surface, but what strikes me again and again is how similar some of the underlying themes and experiences appear to be. If this resonates with you – or if someone comes to mind whom I should absolutely speak to – I would love to hear from you.

Autistic People & Carers UK - NHS Autism Services Postcode Lottery

📢 Healthcare inequality still very much exists in the UK in 2026... 📢 We all know how exhausting it is to fight for the right support. In some areas across the UK, hospitals and communities have amazing Autism Liaison Teams or Autism Community Specialist Nurses... in others you are handed a diagnosis and left completely on your own 🤷🏼♀️ To help demonstrate this "postcode lottery" to decision makers and try to put together something to make a difference, I have sent Freedom of Information (FOI) requests to NHS Trusts & ICB's across the UK... But I also want to hear and share real lived experience. I have my own experiences from my role as a social worker however real life testimonies from the people this truly affects are also integral to collate a report that I can share far and wide. If you are an autistic individual, a parent or a carer, a healthcare professional or social worker or other professional... I want to hear your story - positive or negative: ❓ Have you been admitted to hospital and struggled because there was no specialist team to help with sensory adjustments or communication? ❓️Does your local community/hospital have an Autism specialist team/service? ❓ What happened after you or your family member got a diagnosis? Was there any support available in your community? ❓ Have you had to reach a complete crisis point before getting noticed by local services? ❓️Have you / your loved one had support from a specialist Autism Mental Health Team in the community if required? Has any specialist mental health support been available? ❓️For Professionals - what is your experience of the impact of having / not having a Specialist Autism Service in communities and hospitals? Every story matters. By sharing your experiences you can help me start to build an undeniable case for universal NHS Specialist Autism services across the UK 🏥🩺 🔒 Your privacy is safe - Anything you share with me will be entirely anonymised. 💬 Please comment below or send me a private message if you are willing to share your experience.

Neurodivergent Adults - Relationship Impact of Burnout

The workplace gets most of the attention. But what about everything else? The friendships that quietly dissolved because you cancelled too many times — not because you didn't care, but because you had nothing left. The partner who learned to stop asking how your day was. The family who still thinks you're difficult. The social events you've been declining for so long people stopped inviting you. Neurodivergent burnout doesn't clock off at five. It follows you home. It sits at the dinner table. It changes who you are to the people who love you — and most of them never get an explanation that makes sense. I'm writing MISREAD — about how the workplace misunderstands neurodivergent brains. But the more I write, the more I hear about the cost outside of work too. So I want to ask: What's the relationship impact nobody talks about? #Neurodiversity #ADHD #Autism #MentalHealth #Relationships #MISREAD

LGBTQIA+ Tech & Data Centre Professionals - Pride Month Voices

Everyone, their grandma and their goldfish are aware that the data centre industry and tech generally struggle with diversity. Just take a look at a lot of big events and their speaker lineup. Am I right, or am I right? Many are vastly underrepresented in the industry and it's something I want to put a spotlight on - a harsh, blinding light that reveals all the industry's wrinkles and blemishes. How else is the industry going to improve if we don't give platforms to voices who can tell us what it's like and advocate for change? My International Women's Day series was a resounding success and I'm not talking about vanity metrics; no, it was about shining a light on women working across all disciplines and levels and showing the industry what it needs to do to be better. This month I'm looking to do the same. It's Pride Month, and a month close to my heart as part of the LGBTQIA+ community. I'm looking to interview people who are in the LGBTQIA+ community, working in the data centre and tech industries. These interviews will explore: - how they got into the community - how they feel about current representation and advocating for themselves in this industry - what the industry needs to do to be diverse and open up the doors for brilliant minds to facilitate growth (and not just in a tick-box way) - advice for those wanting to enter the industry Please repost, comment for reach and share with those whose voices need to be heard. This isn't a series just for the sake of it. I'm not changing my logo on FBS or anything; this is to give people in the LGBTQIA+ community a platform to be heard and to advocate. Allies, we love you, but I just want to hear from those who are in the community. Drop me an email: [email redacted], or DM me on LinkedIn to find out more. #pridemonth #tech #pride #lgbtqia+

Aging Parents of Autistic Adults in Baton Rouge - Housing Crisis

Linda is 68. Her son Daniel is 38. He's lived with her since he aged out of the school system seventeen years ago. She's not asking for sympathy. She's asking for a plan. And the system, so far, hasn't had one. This is Issue 6 of NeuroPulse — and it's the one I've been building toward since we started this series. We've written about Marcus at the transition cliff. Jordan on the other side of it. Camille doing the math on whether to stay in direct support work. Rachel waiting 14 months for a diagnosis that opened no doors automatically. This issue is about what happens decades later, when the parents who filled every gap the system left are no longer able to fill them. The numbers behind Linda's situation are stark: → 87% of autistic young adults live with a parent at some point after high school — vs. 21% of their peers → 14,500+ people are on Louisiana's waiver registry waiting for disability services → In Baton Rouge, the average wait for a general housing voucher is 51 months. The waitlist is currently closed. → Disability-specific housing designed for neurodivergent adults doesn't exist in this city in any organized form The only autism-specific housing in Louisiana was built in Lake Charles — by families who organized it themselves because nothing else existed anywhere in the state. Baton Rouge is in the middle of a major development period. Decisions being made right now will shape this city for the next 50 years. The question of where neurodivergent adults will live is almost never part of that conversation. It needs to be. https://shorturl.at/cKPbR If you're an aging parent asking Linda's question — or if you know one — I want to hear from you. Your experience is the evidence that changes what gets built. The CAAN Provider Summit is September 30. The State of Neurodiversity Conference is October 1. If you work in housing, disability services, or urban planning in the Capital Area, we want you at the table. [email redacted] #AdvancingConnections #CAANBR #AutismAcceptance

Dyslexic & ADHD Writers - AI as Accessibility Tool

With so much hype, & so much legitimate concern, about the misuse of AI, I've been tentatively stepping back into social media. Partly because I have a novel coming. Partly because I think a conversation is missing. I've been trying to pick my platforms more carefully, looking for places where nuance still survives, rather than the louder feeds where everything collapses into the same fight. I'm dyslexic & have ADHD. I've spent forty years building careers around the gap between what's in my head & what makes it onto the page. For people like me, AI isn't generative; it's restorative. It doesn't write for me; it closes the friction between thought & finished sentence. I run a full audit trail on every step. No AI-generated content claimed as my own work. An accessibility tool, the way a screen reader is for someone blind. The current debate too often collapses two very different questions: "Should AI generate fake creative output?" & "Should neurodivergent people lose access to tools that let them function?" The first deserves the scrutiny it's getting. The second is being quietly steamrolled in the process. I'm writing about this. The novel, Faculty of Matter, comes out of the same questions: what we agree to give up when systems promise to help us. Many of you are deep experts in this space, working in AI, in the technologies around it, in policy & ethics. I'd genuinely welcome constructive input on this debate, especially the harder edges of it. 📚 carlmfreeman.substack.com 🦋 @gatekeeper0077.bsky.social #AI #Accessibility #Neurodiversity #Dyslexia #ADHD #AIEthics #FacultyOfMatter #Dreampunk

Senior Ethnic Minority Leaders - Leadership Exchange Series

We recently launched our new learning and development series, 'The Leadership Exchange', with our first session featuring Serena Chana, hosted by Ishy Akhtar. The aim of these conversations is to create honest discussions around leadership, career growth and lived experiences, while spotlighting senior leaders from ethnic minority backgrounds. Serena shared honest reflections on stepping into leadership, navigating workplace expectations, and the pressure many women face around being “likeable” at work. Her advice on finding managers and advocates who genuinely champion your growth really stood out to me. I loved helping organise this and feel really proud to chair a network that works to amplify ethnic minority voices while creating opportunities for learning and development. Huge thanks to the rest of the committee for making this happen. We’re always looking to feature more senior leaders from ethnic minority backgrounds in future sessions. If that sounds like you, or someone you know, I’d love to hear from you. #Leadership #DiversityAndInclusion #CareerGrowth #RaceNetwork

HR & DEI Leaders Canada - Neurodiversity Beyond Awareness Training

If you lead HR, DEI or people strategy in Canada, I have a question for you. Since January, I've been hearing directly from leaders on their experiences with neurodiversity at work. 🧠 We've talked about what's working to support employees who identify as neurodivergent, what's not, where do things feel stuck and what's one thing that would make a real difference for moving beyond awareness. Some of what I've heard has been expected. Some has surprised me. One thing keeps coming up: "𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸-𝗯𝗼𝘅", 𝗮𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝘀𝘄𝗲𝗿. I planned to wrap these conversations in March but they're too valuable to stop. If you're an HR, DEI or executive leader at a Canadian organization, I'd love to hear from you. We can meet over Zoom, or I can send you a link to the questions. This is an invitation to speak from your experiences, and you keep control over what you share. Everything stays anonymous and confidential. My DMs are open to you, with gratitude. --- Image description: A dark green background with words in white that read: " 'Check-box' awareness training isn't the answer." There's an orange highlight over the words "isn't the answer". At the bottom there's a photo of Jackie Connelly, her name and "Coaching That Belongs" logo.

Canadian Founders, AI Researchers & Community Builders - Documentary

📣 📣📣 Calling founders, government policymakers, Indigenous leaders, and community builders. 📣 📣 📣 There are people across this country doing extraordinary work in AI. AI researchers building novel models To founders building solving problems with AI To community builders supporting innovation And most of them are not in the conversation. Not yet. I am making a documentary to change that. 🎬 Building Canadian AI centers the voices of the people actively shaping Canada's artificial intelligence future and the communities with the most to gain from it. The global AI race is happening right now, at full speed, and Canada has an extraordinary opportunity, a wide pool of talent, and a responsibility to show what AI leadership looks like when it reflects the full diversity of this country. I am looking for voices across these communities to share their perspective on screen: → Black founders and entrepreneurs → Indigenous business leaders and knowledge keepers → AI researchers and academics → Women in tech & AI → Government officials and policymakers → Community builders → Newcomers and immigrants → Youth leaders If you are one of these people, or you know someone whose story belongs in this film, I want to hear from you. 🙌 Send me a direct message. Tell me what you are building, what you believe, and why your voice belongs in this conversation. ⏳PLEASE CONFIRM YOUR INTEREST BY APRIL 30TH! #BuildingCanadianAI #CanadianAI #BlackInAI #IndigenousInTech #AIEquity #CanadianTech #Edmonton #Documentary #AIFilm #RepresentationMatters #InclusiveAI #WomenInAI #AIGovernance #CanadaSovereign

Academics With Tourette Syndrome - Academic Life & Lived Experience

One of the great privileges of talking to people for my podcast has been to expose the diversity of neurodiversity. Not only between different “labels“, but also within them. Seeing the way that people have been affected, and have overcome this, with and without support. With this in mind I’d very much like to talk to someone who is in the academic world (or has been) living with #TouretteSyndrome. If you know of or are someone who would be willing to tell us what it’s like and share their/your experience please drop me a line you can reach me through here or the link below

Autistic People & Families in Beirut - Stress, Services & AI Support

I'm beginning work on a reporting project I've wanted to do for a long time, and I need help finding the right people. The question at the center: why do we forget autistic people so easily, especially in times of crisis? I'm reporting from Beirut, on how autistic children and adults — and the families, therapists, and educators around them — have been navigating stress and anxiety during a period of sustained conflict. I also want to understand what's happening with the new category of AI tools being marketed to support autistic users, and whether any of it reaches people here. I want to report this with care and with the community. I'd be grateful to connect with: • Advocates in Lebanon or the diaspora • Parents, caregivers, siblings • Clinical psychologists, behavioral and occupational therapists working in autism • Special educators and school counselors • Researchers working on AI and autism, especially anyone building for Arabic-speaking users • NGOs and community organizations serving autistic people in Lebanon — SKILD, Lebanese Autism Society, Arcenciel, and others Conversations can be on or off the record, in English or Arabic. Autistic voices are especially welcome. If this touches your work or your life, or you know someone it does, I'd love to hear from you. DMs are open or reach me at [email redacted]. A share helps it travel further than my own network — the people I most need to hear from may not be here yet. #Autism #Neurodiversity #Lebanon #AI #MentalHealth

Black Travelers On Safari - 500+ Photo Archive Initiative

DEAR TRAVEL INDUSTRY… SAFARI POST UPDATE ''If the industry and google won’t show it,I will''- Martinique Lewis Last month, I shared my frustration after searching “safari” on Google and seeing zero representation of Black travelers. As someone who has been on three safaris, I was disappointed but not surprised. Once again, we were left out of a narrative that suggests we don’t have the interest or the means to participate. In the past 12 months 41% of Black travelers have had Leisure Trip Activitiesthat included parks and wildlife viewings according to our research at Black Travel Alliance, so whats the deal? I spoke up here on LinkedIn (so much engagment), and then on Threads. I asked Black travelers to post their Safari photos. The response? -90,000+ views -5,900 likes -842 comments (750+ were photos and videos) -238 reposts -62 shares -10 quotes And just like that, the narrative shifted. These weren’t just a few destinations either, there were 10+ African countries represented, far beyond the usual South Africa and Kenya story. So what’s next? The ABC Travel Greenbook App is going to turn this into something bigger, I'm working on an article featuring 500+ images of Black travelers on safari so that google will FINALLY reflect something different. Nothing changes if nothing changes. Stay tuned P.S. destinations and brands, if you're not on threads, you're missing out! #travel #tourism #safari #diversityintravel #blacktravel

High-Performers (Executives & Academics) - Hiding Mental Health - Book

I’m done pretending that "High-Achieving" and "Clinical Mental Health" can’t exist in the same room. I recently sat down on “Healing Through Chaos” with Jontai Reynolds to get raw and honest about why so many of us are paying aMasking Tax™. https://lnkd.in/enwN5aqx In high-performance environments—from the Fortune 500 to Tier-1 Universities—we are losing our most brilliant minds to theHidden Strain™. I’m talking about the individuals who spend 60% of their energy hiding their diagnosis for fear of losing their credibility, leaving only 40% for the work they love. ThroughKeepBrilliant™, I’m on a mission to change the architecture of how we recruit and retain these high-achievers. It’s time to move from "stigma" toCognitive Agility™. I need your help for my upcoming book,The Hidden Strain: I am looking for high-performers (executives, academics) who have navigated this internal battle. If you’ve ever felt you had to hide your brilliance behind a mask, I want to hear your story. 📩Connect with me privately and 100% anonymously: [email redacted] Watch the full episode : Link in comments #KeepBrilliant #TheHiddenStrain #Neurodiversity #HighPerformance #MentalHealthAwareness

Agency Creatives - Layoffs Killing Innovation & Diversity

Agency layoffs are killing more than jobs. They're killing innovation. As agencies continue to gut jobs, defund departments, and dismantle creative divisions, those left standing carry a question they're afraid to say out loud. Am I next? And when that's the question you carry into every meeting, you stop raising your hand for anything that doesn't already have a guarantee behind it. You sponsor the same event. You target the same audience. You tell yourself "next year, we'll get more creative." But in the meantime, entire communities absorb the loss. You don't bet on Latinas. You don't bet on Black consumers. You don't greenlight the campaign for the audience that's been called "niche" for decades, even as they drive culture, set trends, and outspend every assumption made about them. Not because the data isn't there. Because "unproven" is too expensive a word when your job is already fragile. And honestly? As a human, I get it! If my livelihood were on the line, I'm not sure I'd raise my hand either. Because being wrong doesn't just cost you; it costs the people around you. The ones who trusted you. That's a weight most people aren't willing to carry. But someone pays for that calculus. It's just never the person who made it. I'm thinking of writing about this for Rogue Citizen! Would love to hear any thoughts, commentary or what you're actually seeing out there 👇

Neurodivergent Employees - Workplace Masking & Accommodations

15-20% of your workforce is neurodivergent. And you probably don't know who they are. That means in a team of 10, at least 1-2 people are dyslexic, autistic, have ADHD, dyspraxia, or are highly sensitive. And in 70% of cases, you won't know. Why? Because they're hiding it. They're masking their natural way of thinking to fit into workplaces that weren't designed for them. And it's exhausting. Here's what most people don't realize: Neurodivergent employees aren't "struggling to keep up." Many are working twice as hard just to appear "normal." They're forcing eye contact when it drains them. They're suppressing stimming behaviors that help them focus. They're burning through energy in open-plan offices that feel like sensory assault. They're translating vague instructions into clear action plans in their heads. And then they go home completely depleted. In this month's Health @Work Monthly Insight, we explore: 1. What neurodiversity actually means 2. How neurodivergent conditions impact work 3. What simple accommodations look like 4. Why this is a business issue, not just an HR one The workplace wasn't designed for neurodivergent brains, but it can be. And when it is, everyone wins. Whether you're neurodivergent yourself or work alongside neurodivergent colleagues, I want to hear from you. What does your workplace do well? What needs to change?

Neurodivergent Advocates - Reframing Neurodiversity Beyond Diagnosis

I live in such a supportive neurodivergent space that sometimes I forget how strongly the wider world still views our communities through a medicalised lens. Even when I write from a neurodiversity perspective, it can be interpreted through diagnosis and deficit. I’m currently working on an article and trying to be as clear as possible about my stance, my argument, and what I mean. It doesn’t help that the term neurodiversity has been co-opted to refer to diagnostic labels, rather than the natural variation of human cognition. Have you ever tried to discuss neurodiversity and found it’s been completely misinterpreted? Let's reimagine inclusion together Jess x x #Neurodiversity #EpistemicJustice #Misinterpretation #NeuroCognitiveTraitInteraction
