3rd consecutive year serving as emcee for the annual Veterans in Tech Summit, hosted by @CapitalFactory & sponsored by @awscloud.

This year, I was able to use my @Hearts2Heal community to curate a panel of diverse voices, to speak on the importance of #mentalhealth

[Maria Brown-Spence @mbrownspence]

No matter what time of the year it is, grief is hard. It involves so many emotions, like sadness, anger, guilt, or relief. The holiday season adds its own complexity to an already full emotional plate.
But, you can find joy amidst the pain. @Hearts2Heal

Tonight, I look forward to serving as emcee for the WIELD Texas Demo Day at @UTAustin!

@marcusjcarey Just sent you a message! Would love a book for my 12year old stepson, if you haven’t given them away.

[Maria Brown-Spence @mbrownspence]

We need more attention on this issue. #COVID19 exposes #health, #wealth and access inequities and for those who need #data it’s overwhelming.

My family is from #Indianapolis, so I'm rocking with @KennyEdmonds on this one! @AngelaIRL, we need more #BlackHistory musical trivia.

[Angela Brown @AngelaIRL]

I really love the storytelling in between the tracks they play. Makes me feel like I'm witnessing some bts black musical history from these legends. #TeddyRileyvBabyface

[Natasha Harper-Madison @NatashaD1atx]

This is a pretty big deal.

For many people of color, #health concerns are never just about a particular disease, but they also include other socioeconomic factors that could affect their physical well-being.

WFH, isn’t accessible to all employees. What are companies doing to ensure success, and eliminate unnecessary stress and anxiety? #coronapocolypse
