Headlines From The Times - Eugenics in our own backyard

For a century, California sterilized women in its prisons and hospitals, often without their consent. Government officials did it in the name of eugenics — of trying to curtail the number of working-class people and people of color. The Golden State apologized for its actions in 2003 but didn’t ban the practice until 2014. Now the state will try to address the wrong of its forced sterilization program with a historic move: It wants to pay survivors reparations.

On today's episode, we speak with Assemblymember Wendy Carrillo (D-Los Angeles), who sponsored the legislative bill that will create California’s reparations effort. And we also talk to one of the activists who have brought this dark chapter in American history to the public.

The Intelligence from The Economist - Loot cause: South Africa’s unrest

Widespread looting and the worst violence since apartheid continue, exposing ethnic divisions and the persistent influence of Jacob Zuma, a former president. How to quell the tensions? As some countries administer third covid-19 “booster shots” we ask about the epidemiological and moral cases for and against them. And the bids to reverse the decline of America’s national pastime.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders - S5 Bonus: Meha Agrawal, Silk & Sonder

Born and raised in Santa Barbara, Meha Agrawal grew up in a beach town. Her Dad is a professor of Computer Science, and her Mom worked at the University as well. In the 5 years before she was blessed with a sibling, her creativity and problem solving nature was cultivated by her parents.

The majority of her life she was chasing gold stars - A+'s on her assignments, targeting the doctor or engineer job - which led her to attend USC and study computer science and business administration. She wound up in NY working for Goldman Sachs, and she quickly realized that she didn't like engineering, particular working on legacy systems. She left Goldman, started working for the Muse and began to fall in love with entrepreneurship. Post that, she spent some time at Stitch Fix, and there she observed how data and tech could foster magical moments for consumers.

She enjoys dancing, singing, and is a huge culinary and mixology enthusiast - searching for the next speakeasy in town with her fiancé. Along with that, she enjoys reading, writing, performing, or sketching.

At the end of 2017, Meha realized that despite her gratifying life, she was feeling unfilled and anxious. She picked up an empty journal, and channeled techniques and structure into her daily process of journaling. What she found was that her health improved... and she decided to create a product taking bits and pieces from bullet journaling techniques.

This is the creation story of Silk & Sonder.
