NEW: MacArthur Foundation’s John Palfrey is “long and strong” on investments in an inclusive economy (Q&A) The best defense is a good offense, says John Palfrey, president of the $8.2 billion MacArthur Foundation. The agenda to create a more inclusive form of capitalism “is going to be successful and it’s going to bring a lot of people along,” Palfrey told me in a revealing Q&A. Palfrey’s response to the coordinated attacks on DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) and ESG (environmental, social and governance): Continue making impact investments that deliver on the promise a multiracial democracy in which everyone thrives.

In today's episode of Superpowers for Good, I had the privilege of speaking with Stephanie Page, the Executive Director and Co-Founder of STORIES FOUNDATION. Steph's pioneering approach to addressing human trafficking through business caught my attention, and I believe it will inspire you too. Steph introduced us to an extraordinary project — the Storyteller Café. This isn't just any café; it's a beacon of hope in the fight against human trafficking. "We believe in using business for good," Steph explained. The café serves as a community hub where every purchase helps combat this grave issue. From locally sourced coffee to boutique items crafted by local artisans, each transaction supports the cause. What sets Storyteller Café apart is its dual purpose. Not only does it raise awareness about human trafficking, but it also provides tangible support to survivors. The establishment offers job training, employment opportunities, and even housing in the form of apartments above the café. This holistic support system is crucial for survivors embarking on their new lives. The idea of integrating business with social impact resonates deeply with me. As Steph highlighted, this approach allows everyone to participate in the solution, moving beyond traditional donations. It's about creating sustainable change through everyday actions. As we wrapped up our conversation, I was moved by the potential of such innovative models to make a real difference. The Storyteller Café is more than a place for coffee; it's part of a larger narrative of empowerment and recovery for those who have endured unimaginable hardships. Join me in applauding Steph and the Stories Foundation for their visionary work. Their approach not only changes lives but also redefines how we can use our businesses to support and uplift our communities.

"I did not know that typewriters will be replaced" - Young woman cried out. Real story, a good friend of mine cried out about about her not being #aware that someday, computers as they are today would come to replace typewriters. While in #school, she devoted all her efforts to becoming a #professional typist. Unfortunately, upon graduation, she was no longer in touch with current realities. This primarily underscores the need for our educational system to be re-visited. I advocate that a compulsory manual job training period of two (2) years be input right after the Secondary school years of the Nigerian school - leaver so that they can learn skills. Right now, the world has left us behind and have started using electric cars, this is when young people should start learning about new technology such as The concept of electric vehicles, as well as the newly talked-about CNG and LNG vehicles. In Nigeria, Innoson Vehicles is already leading the match by producing SUVs and Trucks in #CNG for both private and industrial use. Government of Abia State, Akwa Ibom State Government and The Presidency are already at the forefront promoting the new #innovation. Actually, this is highly commendable. The Gasoline Gallon Equivalents (GGE) of CNG is NGN200, compared to N850, N950 and N1000 cost of PMS. The Directorate of Medical and Human Services, the Presidency Nigeria should also consider buying CNG vehicles in a bid to reduce the amount spent on transport/ diesel by the Presidency in this regard. In readiness for the future, I am glad to announce that I just completed a really good Certificate Course on "Electric Vehicle Technology" where I learnt the basics of Electric cars, how they are powered by electrical means and battery packs charged from electrical grid systems. Electric cars are a great alternative for the current fuel and petrol cars currently patronized in Nigeria. But the major barrier to the use of electric cars in Nigeria is the availability of power supply as well as government policy. Once a lasting improvement can be found to our power problems in Nigeria, I believe that many fueling stations may even be put out of business , except they are ready for the future electric cars. Therefore, unlike my Typewriter-friend, you have the opportunity of learning about these new technologies and to prepare ahead. Do not get caught in the dark ages! Get your own certification from Udemy.com and improve your knowledge of electric cars and newest technologies, while gearing up for Electric cars! #iteachskills #buynaija #madeinnigeria #innoson #nasco #noun #weddingmc #recruiting #secretary

Child labor remains a critical issue that demands urgent attention. Corporations have a unique opportunity to make a significant impact through their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives. By investing in education, creating safe working environments, and advocating for stricter regulations, companies can help eradicate child labor and build a brighter future for all children. Together, we can make a difference. The following Quote stands very much relevant. “Children should have pens in their hands, not tools." - Malala Yousafzai #CSR #ChildLabor #CorporateResponsibility #SocialImpact #BetterFuture #EndChildLabor
