Here to Help

National Hispanic Heritage Month runs from September 15 to October 15, and during this period, we recognize the presence and influence of the Latinx culture in our society.

Chris is joined by Adrienne Smith,  the co-chair of Latinx in Tech at Indeed.  Adrienne will discuss her experiences growing up in Georgia and battling imposter syndrome to get back in touch with her heritage. Adrienne also helps us to understand the importance of recognizing the multiplicity of Us/Them dichotomies 

In this week’s episode of Here to Help, we meet Jessica Jensen, Indeed’s Chief Marketing Officer at Indeed.

Jensen, who is passionate about coaching and motivating diverse, global teams, shares her lessons from 20 years of working in technology in Silicon Valley, and what it is like to lead high-performance teams at the world's leading technology companies, Yahoo!, Apple, and Facebook. 

Learn what’s in store for the world of marketing in a post-COVID world, how being mission-driven helps Indeed's marketing efforts, and how to stay true to your values and advance your career.

Joining Indeed CEO, Chris Hyams, in this week’s episode of Here to Help, is Dr. Mike Tuggy, Consulting Physician from Corporate Medical Advisors, and Indeed’s medical advisor throughout the pandemic. Hyams and Dr. Tuggy discuss the latest chapter of the pandemic, and how the Delta variant has changed how we think about the rest of 2021.

Chris digs deep and asks:

• What do we actually know about the Delta variant?
• Are we re-masking to protect the unvaccinated, or is this also for the vaccinated?
• How should scientists and the medical community communicate to counter misinformation?

In July, Indeed launched an initiative in partnership with Hilman Grad called Rising Voices, where ten BIPOC filmmakers were awarded a $100,000 production budget and crew (via Hillman Grad and 271 Films) to produce a 15-minute short film.

In this episode of Here to Help, Indeed’s CEO, Chris Hyams interviews Constanza and Domenica Castro sisters, producers, founders of 271 Films, and executive producers on Rising Voices. 

The Castro sisters speak about the importance of representation for marginalized voices in the film industry, the need to challenge the status quo, and the impact of Rising Voices on the filmmakers and the industry as a whole.

You can now watch all ten Rising Voices films on Amazon Prime.

What does the term “othering” mean to you? Is being “othered” something you’ve ever experienced in your personal life? What about at work or at school? Was being different something that was celebrated — or were you bullied for it?
