SUMMARY:Online - NH Professionals of Color
DESCRIPTION:Spotlighting NH Local Business Owners of Color!\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this Event\n\n\nNew Hampshire is well known for its business friendly atmosphere\, but what’s it like to start a business here as a young person of color? \nIn this virtual story telling event\, hear from three New Hampshire-based entrepreneurs of color who will share their personal and business experiences – including both their challenges and their successes – here in the Granite State. \nA live Q&A will follow each speaker. \nRegister here \nAbout the Speakers:\nGail Somers – Based in Keene\, Gail Somers is the owner of Yahso Jamaican Grille. Yahso Jamaican Grille features authentic Jamaican Cuisine as well as some modern fusion of Caribbean-American dishes. The restaurant is best known for its “feel good” food and a “casual vibe” that captures the essence of a Caribbean island. Before launching this local eatery\, Gail held various positions in finance and sales with major food manufacturing and distribution companies. She also serves on several boards and committees for causes she is very passionate about\, including the Keene Racial Justice and Safety Committee and the Monadnock Area Transitional Shelter. \nGeno Miller – Born and raised in the Washington\, DC\, area\, Geno is the cofounder and CEO of Shtudy\, a Manchester-based career matchmaking platform that screens\, trains\, and connects top tech talent of color with companies that are building more diverse and inclusive workforces. Geno has a profound love for scaling companies and solving social problems that improve peoples’ lives. Geno has founded four successful startups since age 14. In his leisure time\, you can find him listening to Lil Wayne or Jay-Z\, reading a book about Ray Dalio\, blogging about the latest topics in tech\, or brainstorming with other mission-driven tech founders. \nJose Diaz – Jose Diaz is founder of Spyglass Eyewear\, a Laconia-based optical boutique shop featuring one-on-one curated experiences. Spyglass Eyewear carries its own brand of eyewear and offers convenient tele-medicine vision exams. Jose has more than 20 years in the optical industry. Originally from New York City\, Jose started his career working with some of the top eyewear designers in the city. In 2004 he relocated to Boston\, opening an eyewear company on Newbury Street. He learned that creating a memorable and unique experience with a quality product is key to building a brand. After moving to Boston\, most weekends were spent in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire. With a growing family\, Jose and his wife decided to move to Gilford in 2016. In July 2020 Spyglass Eyewear opened its doors in Laconia. With a downtown redevelopment project already on the way\, the opening of the shop was welcomed with open arms. The goal is to provide the best service and to encourage the growth of the local small business community. \nDetails on how to join the Zoom call will be sent upon registration! \nAbout Stay Work Play’s Diversity\, Equity & Inclusion Series:\nAs an organization committed to attracting and retaining more young people in New Hampshire\, Stay Work Play stands in solidarity with Black Lives Matter and is committed to making New Hampshire a more welcoming\, inclusive\, and just place for people of color.

SUMMARY:Online - The First Weeks of Transition: Rapid Changes to Immigration Policy
DESCRIPTION:Immigration policy has been on fire over the past few years and the Biden-Harris Administration has already issued a series of Executive Orders and policy changes that signal early attempts to squelch the flames and provide protections. Over the past few months\, the National Immigrant Justice Center (NIJC)\, in collaboration with a plethora of organizations\, has zealously prepared to hit the ground running to advocate for access to justice and due process with dignity as new policies become realized. Join NIJC’s policy experts for a rundown of changes to immigration policies in the initial weeks of the Biden-Harris Administration and the vision we are pursuing for the future of immigration law and policy. FREE CLE credit in IL is available. \nRegister Here \nNIJC’s Policy Corner are monthly presentations to provide updates on policy matters affecting immigration. These presentations are open to all community members and pro bono attorneys.
