We know more equitable systems and structures are possible - especially where people have created their own space to go deeper, speak unfiltered about the experience of being Black, and get organized for urgent change. Ausma talks with Rudayna Bahubeshi, Kofi Hope, and Hadiya Roderique about what it’s like to get a foothold in the world of work as a Black person: getting educated, getting hired and actually working while Black over a lifetime.

Rudayna Bahubeshi (@Rudayna_B) is social justice advocate who is passionate about about city building, racial equity, and supporting young leaders. She works at the Inspirit Foundation.

Kofi Hope (@kofi_hope) is a community activist and youth advocate. He was the co-founder and executive director of CEE Centre for Young Black Professionals. He is currently a Senior Policy Advisor at the Wellesley Institute and a Bousfield Distinguished Visitor in Planning at the University of Toronto.

But it feels like this issue has been around forever - what do we need to do to fix it once and for all?

	<description><![CDATA[We hear a lot about how technology is shaping the future of work - booming digital industries, apps for finding work, and artificial intelligence. But these conversations often exclude many of the people who are most affected by technological change - workers, especially precarious workers. In the first episode of Lovers and Fighters, Ausma sits down with Jennifer Hollett and Kay Dyson Tam to talk about their love of technology and their fights to make sure the #futureofwork is decent.

Kay Dyson Tam (@kaydysontam) has worked at the intersection of tech, community organizing, and decent work for a number of years. She is the Manager of Impact and Innovation at Eva’s Initiatives for Homeless Youth.

Jennifer Hollett (@jenniferhollett) is a ‘smash up of tech, news, and politics.’ When we talked to her, she was the Head of News and Government at Twitter Canada.

							<content:encoded><![CDATA[We hear a lot about how technology is shaping the future of work - booming digital industries, apps for finding work, and artificial intelligence. But these conversations often exclude many of the people who are most affected by technological change - workers, especially precarious workers. In the first episode of Lovers and Fighters, Ausma sits down with Jennifer Hollett and Kay Dyson Tam to talk about their love of technology and their fights to make sure the #futureofwork is decent.

Kay Dyson Tam (@kaydysontam) has worked at the intersection of tech, community organizing, and decent work for a number of years. She is the Manager of Impact and Innovation at Eva’s Initiatives for Homeless Youth.

Jennifer Hollett (@jenniferhollett) is a ‘smash up of tech, news, and politics.’ When we talked to her, she was the Head of News and Government at Twitter Canada.
