Congratulations to our friends at Housing Kent for publishing this intelligible tour de force in data storytelling. Please visit the site, distribute it to influencers, and offer your feedback to the team. We are grateful to have been part of the project and look forward to community efforts to address inequities and shortages that affect the quality of life for all of us.
Today marks a monumental milestone for Housing Kent as we unveil our new data dashboard. Our data dashboard, the first of its kind, delves into The American Dream, in all its forms, which remains out of reach for a multitude of households in our community. Through key metrics, the dashboard offers a clear accessible framework to understand these issues and guide us towards actionable solutions. It's been a journey of dedication and collaboration, shedding light on the systemic challenges facing our Kent County community. This work wouldn't be made possible without the help of the Housing Stability Alliance and the development of the Common Agenda and Road Map. Dive into the numbers and join us in advocating for systemic change here: https://lnkd.in/giV7APpj #HousingKent #HousingData #HousingAffordability #CommunityCollaboration

Community service is at the heart of the DataWise mission to help people turn data into wise decisions. Our founders both serve on boards advising excellent organizations that serve children in West Michigan. Laura Luchies has been a longtime advisor to Children's Healing Center, and now Neil Carlson has joined the board of STEM Greenhouse. Keep pitching in any way you can, and let us know how we can help you do so!
Just enjoyed my first meeting as a member of the Board for STEM Greenhouse, along with cool folks like Cordell Zachery, TaRita J., Jessa Challa, Ovell Barbee, SPHR, Stacy P., Jason Joseph, Emil Delgado, Ismalis Nuñez, and Alana Dachtler. If you don't know STEM Greenhouse, please take the time to get acquainted with this acclaimed, hardworking team that is bringing much needed science education programs to over 1,000 children in Grand Rapids. This recent news story will give you a glimpse of the good work being done by Keli Christopher, Ph.D. and her team. I'd love to help you get involved!

Do you see people like you on the big screen? That depends on who you are. According to a recent article by Elisha Marr and DataWise Founder & Principal Consultant Laura Pohler Luchies, if you are a woman and/or a person of color, people like you continue to be underrepresented in film.
