I’m starting to spend more time at work on a project called “call for code”… It’s a nonprofit group that encourages people to use their technology skills for good. They run worldwide hackathons on topics around climate, water rights, racial justice and mental health. Ibm is the major corporate sponsor but not the only one. They’re also sponsored by a number of other companies and the Clinton global initiative, the United Nations, and Lennox foundation. I’m helping with the kick off event this weekend which is a three day hackathon with historically black universities such as ‘Howard and Spellman and a group of worldwide participants. Yesterday I had a real pleasure of moderating a panel between United Nations assistant secretary general for Disaster Resilance Mami Mizori and my friend Ibm Director of racial equity Dr. Stacey Hobson. We talked about the intersection of racial justice and climate change.… It was a really good conversation and it will be aired this weekend. Today I got to watch a live conversation between former President Bill Clinton and Stacey Abrams from Georgia. They were both really amazing. Unfortunately I only got pictures of Clinton… Can’t find my Abrams pictures
On Sunday were being joined by vice president Harris for her closing remarks… That’s going to be so cool! I’ll let you know about that
more tomorrow
