We're honored to have made your list of 2024 highlights!
Edited: Thank you everyone who reached out and for your kind words! I feel incredibly lucky for all of the thoughtful folks in my community. Looking forward to working with many of you in 2025. 2024 was an incredible year of successes and challenges. I wanted to highlight a few accomplishments: ✨ Launching the CUNY 2X Tech Initiative, through the NYC Tech Talent Pipeline, across 5 new campuses, work that is being carried on by some amazing people– Thwiba Eltom, Brendan Collins, and Zamira Kamal. ❤️ Hosting the She Codes in Color event with Rewriting the Code, Reboot Representation, and City Tech, CUNY which brought together women of color from across the CUNY system in a first-of-its-kind event. 🥳 Working with the amazing team at the McCoy Family Center for Ethics in Society | Stanford to stand up their first-ever Public Interest Tech event at Stanford University and bringing together 30+ partners to introduce students to Public Interest Tech. 🤖 Advising students as part of BMCC’s AI Innovation Challenge, led by Dr. Mohammad Azhar, on how to use AI systems and promote AI equity. ⭐ Presenting on Responsible Tech roles at Lehman College's annual Devfest, organized by Eva Sofianos and Hendrix Tavarez. 🙌 I am also excited to announce that I will be part of Coro New York Leadership Center's 2025 Workforce Systems Leadership Program cohort! Through this work, I hope to further my research on workforce and carework, a longtime passion of mine, and grow my knowledge on how networks are an integral part in building more just and equitable workforce systems. In terms of setbacks (and to borrow from the words of my brilliant colleague Sarah Welsh, PhD): baby’s first layoff. After an incredible journey at All Tech Is Human, I was laid off along with two of my colleagues due to budget restraints. So what’s next for 2025? 🙋♀️ I am available for consulting work and full time roles in research, program management, events, and illustration at social impact organizations. If you aren’t sure if a project would be a good fit, please feel free to reach out! I am always happy to chat. I’d love to thank all of the kind people who have been so supportive during this time and to shout out all the tremendous colleagues I was able to work with during my time at ATIH: Sarah Welsh, PhD, Matthew Skomarovsky, Steven Kelts, Abby Fergus, Nicole Cuneo, Deb Donig, Elisa Fox, and Josh Chapdelaine amongst others. Please feel free to reach out if you’d like to chat or if I can be helpful in any way! I am looking forward to seeing what new things 2025 brings and am excited to continue to build communities and systems that help New York serve all New Yorkers.

"To speak honestly about adoption is to hurt someone," Angela Tucker said while trying to articulate her life as a Black transracial adoptee. This free, public event includes a film screening of Closure, a documentary about Tucker’s journey to find and reunite with her birth family, as well as a guided conversation by Larissa MacFarquhar, a staff writer for The New Yorker. In this conversation, Tucker will speak from her personal experience and draw from years of professional work in child welfare to explore the reality that transracial adoption often involves racism, classism, and identity development struggles, alongside love. Tuesday, January 28, 2025 5:30-7:45 p.m. PT ChEM-H / Neuro Research Complex, Rotunda, E241, Stanford RSVP at https://bit.ly/3DOmyQU
