Saddened by the sudden passing of Talib Shakir, Director of DC's Mayor's Office on Returning Citizens Affairs. Talib was a dedicated public servant who worked tirelessly to connect with opportunities. Photo with WLC staffer -former participant Melody Brown. His service mattered.

We were all shared our perspectives and insights in our discussion about digital literacy, AI and ensuring positive community impacts….and some good laughs!
Last week's #CBCFALC conversation reinforced a simple truth: access alone isn't enough.
Building an AI-ready workforce requires connectivity, digital skills, and AI literacy for every community.
Grateful to @RepTroyCarter, @WASHLIT, @JWmsDC, @NationalAction, @NCNWHQ and @MayorBMScott for advancing this important dialogue and highlighting pathways to economic opportunity.
Looking forward to this important conversation. AI is reshaping the workplace. We must ensure that adult literacy, digital skills, and workforce preparation keep pace so that more people can participate in the opportunities AI creates.
The future of opportunity starts with connectivity. Join us at #CBCFALC, as we convene @RepTroyCarter, @MayorBMScott, @JWmsDC, and leaders from @WASHLIT, @NCNWHQ and @NationalAction to discuss how broadband, digital skills and AI literacy are preparing communities for the AI economy.

As a former Ward 7 Democratic Committeeman, I’m proud to endorse @JWmsDC and Ashley Ruff for re-election to the Democratic State Committee.
Both have worked hard to ensure Ward 7 has a voice within the @DCDemocrats and have earned another term.

3-1-WTF? The app for service requests has been malfunctioning for more than a month, and residents want answers. We dug into what's going on and when residents can expect improvements. 51st.news/311-app-dc-ouc/

After years of debate about higher education's value, a study of nearly 1 million undergraduates shows that college pays off financially for most students.
But the report found that the benefits depend on varying factors, including the degree and major: wapo.st/4nwMAe4

I appreciate your commitment to focusing on the crippling effect of the closure of CVS stores, including @pennbranchdc. Unfortunately, these lease agreements completely block competing stores or anything similar. You should also talk to the landowners, like Burka Brothers.

Gayle King stood up from her chair on LIVE TV this morning to give this man, the focus of our story, an ovation.
He deserved every bit her applause.
Robert Carter is a phenomenal, self-made man with a hell of a human story.
