🧬 AAPI STEM Hero Spotlight: Dr. Chien-Shiung Wu
Known as the “First Lady of Physics,” she helped change our understanding of how the universe works.

🎬 Project Hail Mary (PG-13) now playing only in theaters.
Apparently our CEO wasn't busy enough. Congrats to DeNora Getachew @democracyninja on her appointment as a new Commissioner on the NYC Civic Engagement Commission. 👏🏾👏🏼👏
She's now officially NYC's most civic-minded overachiever 💥
A special thank you to Manhattan Borough President Brad Hoylman-Sigal @manhattanbp for recognizing her incredible leadership and commitment to civic life.
Find out more about the NYC Civic Engagement Commission @nyccec : https://www.nyc.gov/site/civicengagement/
I joined @dosomething as CEO 5 years ago in the midst of the pandemic, the racial reckoning and a moment of transformation for a nearly 30 year old nonprofit. I was charged with building the 3.0 edition of this well-known nonprofit to meet the needs of digitally native Gen Z and Gen Alpha youth. I am an achiever who takes responsibility seriously, so I accepted the challenge.
…
I dropped this leadership mixtape to share my musings about the journey over the last 5 years.
I know we all love a good highlight reel and TL:DR isn’t just a phrase (one I learned when I first started at DoSomething, ironically), it’s our new way of life. In case you don’t watch it, the upshot is that I feel the weight of leading while Black, as a mom, a wife, a daughter and friend; AND young people still have a hunger to do good, but need committed adults in their corner. That’s my key role as CEO of the largest digitally powered nonprofit for young people committed to doing good — be the coach, champion and cheerleader for today’s youth.
There have been many spinning plates and challenges these last 5 years, but also some wins and moments of hope and glimmer of opportunity.
Give me 2 minutes to share my truth and why I know there’s more to do!
And, after you watch the video encourage a young person in your life to find their way to “do something” at DoSomething.org.
