This segment dives into the intersection of education and the arts, showcasing how initiatives centered on music can bridge gaps and create opportunities for underserved communities. It’s a reminder that equity isn’t just about access to resources—it’s about amplifying voices that are often unheard and empowering individuals to share their stories. What makes this story so compelling is its focus on real-world impact. By exploring the lessons of “America’s Own,” the segment underscores the role of cultural expression in education, offering a fresh perspective on how we can address systemic inequities. Whether you’re an educator, a music enthusiast, or someone passionate about social justice, this story is a must-watch.

Hey, FediFriends! Professor Shakespeare needs more participants for her prelim study on food allergies and social access.

Do you have celiac, food allergies, sensitivities, and/or restrictions that impact your ability to go out with friends? Please take her quick survey -- she really wants to better understand the complexities involved! (And she's super great. I really hope she gets enough responses to do this research.) #allergies #research #socialimpact

We attended a great panel today at SXSW: Where Documentary Storytelling Meets Real-World Impact with Raney Aronson-Rath & Erika Howard of Frontline & filmmakers Juan Ravell & Serginho Roosblad of The Associated Press.

So much knowledge dropped. We're adding these films to our watchlist: Documenting Police Use of Force & A Dangerous Assignment: Uncovering Corruption

Also great to hear more the impact of 20 Days in Mariupol & the shoutouts to A Thousand Cuts!

AI in CSR offers powerful ways to improve lives, yet we must remain vigilant. Data misuse and bias are real concerns. True empathy means refining our models regularly to prioritize well-being over mere efficiency. How can we all share accountability for AI that serves humanity? #AI #SocialImpact

Regulations, originally designed to protect citizens and end consumers, are evolving into such complexity that they end up limiting choices.

Today, I received two calls about this. One from a client (amazing people, both personally and professionally). They received a request from a minor client working in the social sector, to whom they provide a service without any profit, charging only a flat rate for reimbursement of expenses. Their goal is to help in their mission.

But there's an issue: their social classification forces them to obtain certifications—required from their suppliers—that would cost so much they make it impossible. In my opinion, these certifications are unnecessary and inapplicable to their reality, yet there seems to be no choice. The alternative? Turning to a big player. That way, they’d feel reassured because "no one has ever been fired for choosing ***."

Now, forcing them to spend more, hand over their data to a foreign company (which could use it for AI training), and receive inferior service—just to have some papers that would protect them from potential lawsuits or fines—doesn't seem fair. A worse service, lower security, and far higher costs.

Regulations are welcome, but within reasonable limits.
