There isn't a law prohibiting justice-impacted individuals from starting their own business when re-entering the community. Sometimes, it's the most viable option because of the challenges faced in regular employment. Tomorrow, I will be facilitating "Pathway to Entrepreneurship" workshops to justice-impacted individuals for the Bronx DA's office. As the Director of the Entrepreneurship program at Manhattan University and The Bronx Economic Development Corporation board member it is important to share entrepreneurial knowledge beyond the four walls of the institution to empower the Bronx and beyond.

Today we filled our last current newsroom opening, and these numbers show how every hire truly matters. It has taken a decade of intentional recruiting, hiring, training, development and retention efforts to build a newsroom that is more diverse and inclusive than ever. * Sometimes that means holding a job open longer then you’d like. * Sometimes it means spending fruitless hours at job fairs, speaking to glassy eyed students in classrooms and swallowing your introvertedness at networking events to connect with that one right person. * Sometimes it means giving challenging assignments to less experienced people so they can BECOME experienced. * Sometimes it means creating a new staffing tier to develop an internal leadership pipeline. * Sometimes it means promoting someone in-house who will need more support than an outside candidate would. * Sometimes it means examining your own biases, owning your missteps and adjusting your approach. * It definitely means that men, women and people of color are all needed at the decision-making table together. Special thank you to Nick Feely and Denise Ritter for their unwavering commitment to this.
