A new episode ModernRuhles, sruhle talks to the founder of Girls Who Code, Reshma Saujani, the CEO of Robin Hood Foundation, Wes Moore, and her husband, Andy Hubbard, to discuss privilege and power structures.
Wes’s central message, to me and to the people he works with every day, is the same. “We don’t live in a society where it’s zero sum. We don’t live in a society where, in order for one person to gain, it means I must lose. It means that we have to use our privilege … it’s not about ‘let me give up my seat,’ but it is about ‘why are there so few seats at this table in the first place?’”
He told me this: Get a bigger table. What if Harvard added more spots in their freshman classes, or our country’s biggest banks recruited from schools outside offor their internship program? These actions would be monumental moves in the right direction. But there also needs to be a mental shift, Wes says.
I end every episode of Modern Ruhles with the same reflection: What did I hear from my guests, what do I think about what I heard, and what am I going to do as a result? Following my conversation with Wes, I couldn’t stop thinking about the answers to these questions. Yes — there is so much more our country’s policies, local governments and education systems can do to address this dire issue.
