When you know better, you do better, right? Thank you, Maya. That's exactly what Bridgette Washington had in mind when she created RaveVenn app that will bring folks 18-29 together in solidarity to understand the type of democracy they're creating. RaveVenn, available now in Google Play and next week in all other stores, is a place where you simply plug in your zip code and find out about local and national elections, news, and also how your lawmakers are voting. With more and more young people getting fed up with the way things are going, there must be something understood - opting out of this particular democracy doesn't ensure the one that you want is created, it simply creates more of what you don't want. Get involved. Run for office. Advocate for humanity. We're in this together and RaveVenn is the place to begin. Want to be a tester of the app?

Does this sound familiar to anyone in the workplace? It feels calculated, it feels intentional, it feels...like you're being pushed out. The number of women being pushed out of the mainstream workplace will reach 1 million this year - and often when it looks like she has voluntarily left, it was actually a planned takedown.So what is the planned takedown? Anywhere from 12-24 months, there begins to be a mobilization facilitated by someone in authority around both your day to day duties, and also your overarching responsibilities. There may begin to be questioning around your work or the value of it, when not long ago you had been receiving praise. The workplace was designed by white men for white men, and each day, organizations are becoming quite unabashed and unapologetic about their true desires. This transcends gender, and into the generational gaps that are being formed by younger generations who refuse to maintain the status quo of oppression. The solution, begin documenting, and get talking to one another. Follow Shannon on LinkedIn as she prepares to publish this data and this book.
