A Solution for Digital Inclusion
The idea for EmpowerEd was derived from my lived experiences as a native New Yorker, born and raised in the Bronx. Growing up, I witnessed firsthand how the Black and Brown low-income population is disproportionately affected in education, housing, and career advancement.
In the digital age, these communities face significant barriers to accessing the digital economy due to unequal access to digital technology and the internet. This "digital divide" perpetuates disparities in education and employment, exacerbating economic inequality and driving economic displacement. Taking action is crucial to prevent these communities from falling into an unemployment abyss.
