Forget participating in 'programs' that will 'get you a job' working for people who don't care about you or your #community >> Build your own #innovation #ecosystem based on your own #creativity and #culture >> Ask your school to place you at MetaBronx >> Make your own #future ๐ก

My letter in Science about the myth of meritocracy has led to some interesting discussions. Apparently, bias against women no longer exists in US academia. Shame on me for believing the overwhelming amount of evidence to the contrary! #AcademicTwitter #womeninscience

As a founder, I made all the mistakes. One of the biggest was not following up with investors or trying to keep them updated as I built and only reached out when I was fundraising. Wasn't the best strategy to build a real relationship

MetaBronx provides apprenticeships and career guidance to students throughout the city.
They work with migrants, and organizers believe the need for programs like this has increased as more asylum seekers come to the city. specne.ws/zpEj53

The next generation of founders are not Black, only 1 Woman, and don't wear shoes.
I didn't see that last one coming.
