Jasmin C. DeForrest: Helping Detroit Youth Access Arts and Culture Programming
Jasmin: Glad to be with you, Spiffy! Our goal is to tackle multiple challenges, leading with increasing access to arts and culture programming for Detroit youth and low-income residents. Like others, the arts and culture sector has deeply rooted racial equity gaps. Considering that Detroit’s population is majority African American and about 33% of the city’s population lives in poverty, it is crucial that we work to increase racial equity while decreasing financial barriers for Detroiters. Also, representation matters, and it’s important that people of color, especially youth, see themselves within all facets of art—on stages, in paintings, in stories, and leading museums.

Sudhindra Reddy: Making the Switch to Electric Vehicles Possible

Sudhindra: Majority of fossil fuels’ utilization in India is for commercial vehicles. Electrifying these vehicles is an immediate need. Because 95% of all commercial vehicles on the road require financial assistance through loan products and more than 90% of vehicles are owned by individual and small operators, solving their electric vehicle adoption challenges becomes an imperative. From assisting customers to choose the right electric vehicle for their businesses to offering financial support, Turno acts as a comprehensive end-to-end electric vehicle solution, encouraging greater adoption and making the switch to electric convenient, faster, and affordable.
