The question I am asking myself today is if I was one of the bystanders in my home town put in the same position as those in Chicago today, what would I do to resist the abduction like those neighbors did?

Big Tech Ignored Bias In AIβJustice AI GPT Says It Solved It
Workplace AI often reinforces bias. Justice AI GPT, built on a decolonial framework, says it can dismantle inequities in hiring, promotion, and culture.
I was quoted in a Forbes article by Dr. Janice Gassam Asare, about the risks of ignoring bias in AI, or stated another way, removing the human element from judging AI results and expecting a positive outcome.

This feels like the Mondayest Tuesday so far. When a holiday shortens the week, I usually feel like the remaining days get packed with everything that didnβt happen on Monday. I'm working on shifting that mindset: trying to see holidays as true rest days instead of feeling like I'm already behind.

Thinking of my dadβs side of the family this Labor Day: Mexican Americans who worked tough jobs in fields and factories. Their sacrifices built the foundation I stand on today. Grateful for them and all who labored for the next generation.

I recently joined the amazing Becky Hirst on her podcast to talk about one of my favorite topics: community engagement.
It was such a fulfilling conversation. There is still so much more to say about the subject, and I hope youβll give it a listen! Find it on Apple and Spotify.

If youβre in community engagement or creative work, youβll often see things others donβtβyet. Keep pitching. Keep a doc of ideas. Revisit them later. If they donβt land right away, itβs not failure. Sometimes people need time to catch up to your inspiration.
