About Layla (From Yolanda Stewart)
The importance of having a space for young women of color to inquire about sexuality and mental health is often a challenge – and nearly non-existent in some cases. For Tiffany Lloyd, this is among the reasons for creating the online big sister “Layla’s Got You.”
The multigenerational chatbot is a space for women of color who are seeking answers to personal questions and focuses on the premise of being a community made for women, by women. Layla embodies the essence of a trusted and knowledgeable friend.
Since its inception six years ago, Laya’s Got You has expanded to an on- and offline sisterhood, offering a wealth of knowledge on Black women’s concerns, and organizes efforts to support issues Black women care about. Yet, the organization acknowledges it has a long way to go in order to continue making strides in young Black women’s lives.

Stakeholders in a nascent program in NYC talk about their roles building formal pathways from high school programs to careers in the growing video game economy. Marc joins the gathering to celebrate one of partners' latest achievements in Harlem, a youth-driven exhibition that celebrates the role of video games in the lives of young people, challenging negative tropes about being an enemy to positive growth and development. Special thanks to Harlem School For The Arts, host and without whose support the exhibit would not be possible.
Video Games: The Great Connector, explores how young people leverage video games in this pursuit, emphasizing less what games do to youth than what youth do with games. Special thanks to hosts of the event and exhibition, Harlem School of The Arts, without whose support the exhibit would not be possible.
Gaming Pathways was founded by a city initiative from the Mayor's Office of Media and Entertainment as a new way for high school students in Harlem, Northern Manhattan, and the South Bronx to get training, degrees, and eventually jobs in digital games. Gaming Pathways is guided by an Educational Advisory Board, which includes many of NYC's leading AAA and indie games companies.

About Experiments in ReflectionWhile we often think of reflection as a way to consider what is or was, it can also be a powerful tool for imagining and shaping what could be. Drawing on the science, art, and practice of reflection, this book guides you through hands-on experiments that help you make meaning out of your experiences and support your goals and values.
Educator and scientist Leticia Britos Cavagnaro sets up each experiment with a hypothesis, a method, and guidance for gauging your results. You’ll build concrete skills, learn how to shift your mindsets, and strengthen your ability to reflect with purpose.
Experiments in Reflection helps you tune in to your environment, train your intuition, and shape the future.

Greta McAnany I'm a VC backed entrepreneur + empath with media roots who believes innovation should serve our most human needs- I think mental health is the greatest challenge of our generation and the most promising space to build is the intersection of technology and our well-being💫I've spent the last 10 years working at the intersection of media, wellness and tech with a youth focus. Right now I'm building toward a future with more humane tech through my company Blue Fever: an AI mental health guide peer well-being community for Gen Z/Alpha.
I began my career in Hollywood 🎥 by starting my own production company that produced award-winning films released on major streaming platforms like Netflix/Amazon and in theaters. I brought these films from inception to production & distribution. As a filmmaker, I was a recipient of film grants from Morgan Freeman’ Rock River Foundation, Chicken & Egg Pictures and the prestigious Thornton Foundation. I then made the move into Tech because I saw how media would be dependent on technology for scale and distribution 🚀 AND how it would impact our well-being.
I’ve spent the past couple years building my own startup Blue Fever that has supported over half a million young people through millions of life moments 👯. I have become a Gen Z expert + thought leader who advises companies in the youth digital wellness space. I've been featured in Techcrunch, Forbes, Masters of Scale podcast and presented at Google, SXSW, Out Web Fest, Silicon Beach Fest and various universities. I spend my (professional) time 1) 🧠thinking about the future of digital identity and how platforms create and maintain trust online 2)🛠building solutions for this generation's well-being needs that create both social and financial value 3)🙇♀️learning about all the above 👆and how to be a better and more effective leader and coach.
Dr. Kristine Gloria is a recovering academic, social impact entrepreneur, and dedicated steward of technology for good.

Today's episode is about AI in Education, but more specifically we're talking to the guy I once designated without his permission, my New Math Therapist back in Episode 76. Dan Meyer and I talk in this episode about AI's relationship to teaching math.
Dan Meyer is the Chief Academic Officer at Desmos
Dan loves questions, the kind that rattle around in your brain at all hours, in the shower, etc. Math always had the most interesting questions for him as a kid. Then math education as an adult. He’s chased those questions through several continents, with thousands of teachers in talks and workshops, in a doctoral program at Stanford, finally landing at Desmos part time in 2012 and joining full time in 2015.
Dan Meyer taught high school math to students who didn’t like high school math. He has advocated for better math instruction on CNN, Good Morning America, TED.com and Everyday With Rachel Ray, and is the author of the dy/dan blog. He earned his doctorate from Stanford University in math education and is the director of research at Amplify, where he explores the future of math, technology, and learning. Dan lives in Oakland, CA.

Dan Garcia (UC Berkeley MS 1995, PhD 2000) is a Teaching Professor in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science department at UC Berkeley. Selected as an ACM Distinguished Educator in 2012 and ACM Distinguished Speaker in 2019, he has won all four of the department's computer science teaching awards, and holds the record for the highest teaching effectiveness ratings in the history of several of the department's courses.
He is a national leader in the "CSforALL" and "A's for All (as time and interest allow)" movements, bringing engaging computer science to students normally underrepresented in the field, and supporting them to achieve proficiency. Thanks to four National Science Foundation grants, the "Beauty and Joy of Computing (BJC)" non-majors course he co-developed has been shared with over 1,000 high school teachers! He is delighted to regularly have more than 50% female enrollment in BJC, with a high mark of 63% in the Spring of 2018, shattering the record at UC Berkeley for an intro computing course, and is among the highest in the nation!
