New book release

 




I am pleased to announce my new book was released today,

Tech Enabled Futures:Elevating Education in underserved areas.


The intro:

“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” –Nelson Mandela


Imagine a child in a rural community, miles from the nearest library, exploring the wonders of the Great Barrier Reef through a virtual reality headset. Picture a single mother, juggling childcare with a side hustle, launching her dream bakery online thanks to user-friendly design tools. This isn't science fiction – it's the future we can create with technology in the hands of those who need it most.


The recent pandemic wasn't just a health crisis, it was a brutal education and opportunity gap exposed. Millions, particularly in underserved communities, found themselves locked out of the digital revolution – a society transformed by technology but fractured by its unequal distribution. This digital divide isn't just about access to devices, it's about access to the future.


"Tech Enabled Futures" isn't just a diagnosis of the problem, it's a blueprint for a brighter tomorrow. We'll delve into real-world stories of individuals and communities bridging the gap, leveraging technology to unlock their potential. This book is a call to action, fueled by research and the lived experiences of those navigating this changing landscape.


Imagine a world where a child's zip code doesn't determine their destiny. Where technology becomes a ladder, not a wall, propelling individuals and communities towards a more equitable future. Join us as we explore how to make this vision a reality.


Join me on this journey where each chapter reveals part of a blueprint for making technology a universal equalizer. From rural classrooms in Appalachia to the bustling streets of Southeast Asia, we will explore how innovation can uplift every community. Here, opportunity is not a luxury but a birthright, and the strategies we will uncover are your toolkit for forging this new reality.

Empowering Entrepreneurship and Global Collaboration for Sustainable Change

 In today's interconnected world, the diaspora represents not just a scattering of communities, but a vast network of untapped potential. As an advocate for global collaboration and entrepreneurship, I stand before you with a vision to harness this potential for sustainable change.

Empowering Communities

Jo-Anne Rolle, the dean of the School of Business at Medgar Evers College, City University of New York, is on a mission to transform underserved communities through the power of technology and entrepreneurship. As the Immediate Past President of the National HBCU Business Dean's Roundtable, Rolle emphasizes the need for economic engines within local communities to create job opportunities and wealth streams. "We are not going to make the change unless we find economic engines in these communities that are job creators," she states, highlighting the pivotal role of local entrepreneurs. Rolle's journey into economics began in high school, but it wasn't until she saw her first Black economist professor at the University of Miami that she realized the potential for change. Her experiences at Howard University reinforced the importance of innovation and creativity in solving long-standing problems. Rolle believes that new solutions are required to address old problems,...
