The digital economy loves to talk about innovation. It talks far less about access.

As artificial intelligence accelerates, tech valuations soar, and governments race toward digital transformation, one question sits uncomfortably beneath the headlines: Who is being prepared to participate—and who is being systematically left out?

Hermina Johnny is not interested in incremental change. She is interested in structural correction.

Born in Saint Lucia and shaped by years of living and working across the United States and Europe, Johnny has positioned herself at the intersection of education, economic strategy, and gender equity. As Founder and Executive Director of the Aspire Artemis Foundation, she is working to redesign the pipeline into science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM)—with a deliberate focus on girls and underrepresented communities.

And she is unapologetic about the stakes.

“Digital transformation without intentional inclusion doesn’t close gaps—it widens them.”

From Global Policy To Ground-Level Access

Johnny’s academic background spans international relations, economics, anthropology, and international law. She earned her undergraduate degree from Connecticut College and completed an LL.M. in International Law and International Relations in Brussels, later pursuing research in constitutionalism and fundamental rights.

But rather than remaining in policy circles, she moved toward execution.

Global development frameworks routinely articulate commitments to equity. Yet implementation often stalls at the structural level. Johnny saw that disconnect firsthand.

So she built an institution designed to close it.

Education As Economic Infrastructure

Through the Aspire Artemis Foundation, Johnny develops STEAM-focused leadership programs, global symposia, and digital literacy initiatives that go beyond exposure. The organization integrates arts into STEM disciplines—not as decoration, but as strategic design—training young people to think adaptively in a workforce defined by rapid change.

Her framing is deliberately economic.

STEAM education, she argues, is not a social side project. It is workforce architecture.

“If education isn’t treated as infrastructure, we shouldn’t be surprised when opportunity collapses under pressure.”

Under her leadership, the foundation has convened programming connected to international development discussions and United Nations–related venues, reinforcing a simple but disruptive thesis: innovation ecosystems that exclude women are economically inefficient.

The conversation, she insists, must shift from representation optics to structural preparation.

Encouragement is not a strategy. Infrastructure is.

Small States, Global Systems — And Female Leadership

Johnny’s work also challenges geographic bias in global innovation narratives. Participation in forums linked to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the UN General Assembly, and the ECOSOC Science, Technology and Innovation Forum places her within high-level policy discussions.

At the Fourth International Conference on Small Island Developing States (SIDS4), debates centered on resilience and connectivity. For Johnny, the message was direct: small island nations cannot diversify their economies without digital capability.

And digital capability does not appear spontaneously. It is built—intentionally.

As a woman leader from a small island state, Johnny’s presence in these arenas disrupts two assumptions at once: that innovation leadership belongs to large economies, and that systems change is driven primarily by traditional power centers.

“Geography should not determine destiny. Neither should gender.”

Strategy Meets Execution

Before founding her nonprofit, Johnny built experience in business strategy and legal advisory work, including corporate and intellectual property matters. That foundation shapes her leadership style—analytical, cross-sector, and systems-focused.

But she refuses to operate solely at altitude.

She continues to teach and develop educational materials, maintaining direct engagement with learners. The result is rare: a leader equally fluent in boardroom strategy and classroom realities.

In conversations about women in technology, she pushes back against surface-level diversity narratives.

Representation without preparation, she argues, sets women up to enter systems that were never designed for them to succeed.

Structured pathways, market-aligned skills, mentorship networks, and institutional accountability are non-negotiable.

The Real Leadership Test

The digital economy disproportionately rewards early exposure and sustained access. Johnny’s work is built around intervening before exclusion calcifies into inevitability.

By positioning STEAM education as both an equity imperative and an economic growth strategy, she reframes inclusion not as charity—but as competitiveness.

In her view, the most dangerous myth in innovation culture is that talent naturally rises.

Talent rises when infrastructure supports it.

“The question isn’t whether women can lead in technology. The question is whether systems are willing to evolve fast enough to make room.”

In the expanding landscape of women in leadership, Hermina Johnny represents a category of leader that is increasingly impossible to ignore: not symbolic, not peripheral—but systemic.

She is not asking to be included in the digital economy.

She is helping decide who gets to build it.

—Barbara Thole, Hong Kong, Founder, The Executive Forum “This book crackles with the familiar electricity of unspoken truths about China and its relationship with the US. Its many keen observations and insights surge forward at an irrepressible pace, as if mirroring the rapid change it is describing. It is a prophetic window into the future and a sound handbook for what to do when we get there.”

—Hu Maomao, Beijing, Partner, Eigen Capital
China is surging in the tech race — and will continue to outperform the United States. The rising power has done exceptionally in Super Apps, bullet trains, 5G, electric vehicles, digital currency, smart cities, blockchain applications, and quantum communications in space, among others. Its payment platforms are increasingly adopted along the entire Silk Road. The genesis of this book was to discover an “Apollo Program” for the US to catch up in these areas, but we discovered a much deeper need for a social/mental health Apollo Program for millennials who are bogged down by a host of under-appreciated and intertwined issues which cause anxiety and alienation and lead to massive losses in workplace productivity. This book proposes two Apollo programs — one for tech and one for millennials — by a millennial. Strategies for cracking the highly competitive Chinese Super App e-commerce market are also revealed.

“Paul looks at how technology is shaping our world through two defining lenses. The first is the generational shift in the adoption of technology and the second is the geo-political machinations between China and the US. How this plays out will define the world we live in!”
—Rob Jesudason, Hong Kong, CIO, Serendipity Capital (former President of Block.one)

“No person can tie the sociological, political, financial and technical issues at hand better than Paul. He once again tells of revolutionary and evolutionary changes that can only be ignored at one’s peril. If you don’t think that Paul is accurate in his assessments, then reread this book 18 months from now.”
—Frank Wang, Hong Kong, Former Co-CEO of OCBC Wing Hang Bank

“This book offers insight into today’s most important issue: the tech race, and why the West is losing. Schulte’s unique position at the intersection of tech, mental health, and where East meets West gives him an unparalleled understanding of why the West is losing the tech race, and what to do about it. As a Western millennial living in China, I witness the accuracy of Paul’s thesis every day. My only hope is that all Western business and political leaders read this before it’s too late.”
—Corentin Trebaol, Paris, CEO, Aconia Group

“Amazon is changing not only our buying lives but, also, our managing models. Brian Dumaine takes us inside the enterprise to see exactly how Jeff Bezos and his legions are doing it, sourcing anything in sight by overnight or less. A game-changer, the company has become one of America’s most omnivorous and disruptive start-ups ever. Buy Bezonomics today.”
—Michael Useem, Professor and Director of the Wharton Leadership Center, University of Pennsylvania

“Perhaps the most valuable aspect of Schulte and Groves’ research is not just the emphasis they place on powerful novel technologies, but the way in which this technology is placed in conversation with larger cultural and policy challenges that stifle US progress in the international community. Millennials have experienced America in the midst of one of her greatest failures, and the need to remedy and rebuild this divisive generational rift is paramount for the success of her future.”
—Jason Kang, Cambridge, Mass, Fellow, Narang Labs, Harvard University

“Few people can bridge the east and the west, the millennials and the older generations better than Paul Schulte. Well-written, brilliant and balanced, this book offers a timely insight into the frontiers of technology and the two leading countries: US and China in their quest for global leadership in the age of new technologies.”
—Ben Shenglin, Hangzhou, Professor & Dean, International Business School & Academy of Internet Finance, Zhejiang University

When some people create bad news, there are many more who work to fix it,

When some people break laws, many more obey them.

When some people are mean, many more love their fellow man/woman.

When some people think that they are different from others (race, color & creed) there are many more who realize that we are all related Homo sapiens, with the same blood color and heart beating.

When some people disrespect the animal and plant kingdoms and nature there are many who believe we are part of them, especially since most medicine and food evolves from them.

The Good News Is: There are many more compassionate, loving, caring people on Mother Earth or good odds man/woman would not have survived for all these years.

The post The 15th Annual UAE Healthy Kidney 10K Postponed to April 28th. appeared first on Good News!.

Listen to “Todd Wharton” on Spreaker.

On Saturday, November 17, 2018 from 6PM – 10:30PM (A movement supported by the city of NY) The 2nd Annual “One Love L’s Up Holiday Concert for Peace & Unity” presented by LTC Live, will take place in Times Square/Father Duffy Square in the heart of NYC.

Hi, my name is Todd Wharton, CEO & Founder of LTC, Host of LTC Live and the Creator of The One Love L’s Up Global Movement & Concert for Peace & Unity. NYC is the greatest city in the world, not because of the food, the skyscrapers, the entertainment, etc… IT’S BECAUSE OF THE PEOPLE. We forget how special and beautiful this world is until you stand in the heart of NYC and at that moment you realize in one place, people from around the world from every race, religion, gender, sexual preference, young, old, rich, poor, etc.. are doing one thing; celebrating life without the fear of being afraid of who they are with the drive that know matter where they are from in the world #IamNYC , because NYC is the world.

This concert/movement has been created not because of a tragedy, but to try to prevent future ones. A concert not to happen just once, but a movement to take around the world to promote L’s Up (a symbol of peace and hope to let everyone know you are an equal of this earth)
A movement that unites all charities and all movements for one goal, to get one step closer to that Utopia.

Humans have been at war with each other since the dawn of time and we are fighting battles and rules based on those from the past that mocked what they don’t understand. You have a choice, a human virtue that only you control.

We are asking for your support. Anyone can say “Well I liked your post”, but it’s the ones that give a little or a lot, who show up and the ones that get off their computer to be a part of history to help celebrate life and not aid in destroying it. Help us change the course of time and make our future better for those generations to come.

Bob Marley has proven that a voice can be strong through music to promote peace and love. He was so determined that after being shot for what he believed in, 2 days later he got back up on that stage and sang. When asked “Why” he said “There are those that are trying to make this world worse and they are not taking a day off. How can I? Light up the darkness”

Please help us make a difference. This is your world as well.
One man can change the world, but together we can change the course of man and woman in a positive way.

My name is Todd Wharton and I approve this message

The post Todd Wharton appeared first on Good News!.

Buoyed by his success, five months later, he ran his first marathon, and became the first amputee to run 26.2 miles. There was no looking back. In 1983, he founded the Achilles Track Club, currently known as Achilles International.

Dick has a BS, MBA, and Ph. D. from New York University and lives in Manhattan. He’s been married for 40+ years and has a married son and a granddaughter.

Faxon Law New Haven Road Race Celebrates 40 Years!

New Haven, CT: http://www.newhavenroadrace.org/ The Faxon Law New Haven Road Race is excited to celebrate its 40th anniversary this Labor Day! The event takes place Monday, September 4 on the New Haven Green. To celebrate 40 years, the race is offering several new amenities including athlete names on race bibs and custom race posters designed by Garry Trudeau for all athletes. The races consist of a half marathon, relay, 5K, Town Fair Tire Kids Fun Run, and the signature 20K.

This year, the race is bringing back an updated version of its classic race logo. Yale graduate and well-known cartoonist of the Doonesbury Comic Strip, Garry Trudeau, designed the inaugural race shirt in 1978 and has done a few updated anniversary logos over the years. The 2017 race logo will be featured on a commemorative race poster to be distributed to the first 5,000 race entrants. The first 200 who make a donation of $75 or more to the Children’s Tumor Foundation receive an autographed copy of the poster! The Children’s Tumor Foundation (CTF) is a non-profit organization dedicated to driving research, expanding knowledge and advancing care for millions worldwide who live with neurofibromatosis. To learn more about CTF or how to receive your autographed poster, email jody@jbsports.com.

The Faxon Law New Haven 20K again hosts the USATF 20K National Championship. The race expects to feature a number of past champions and U.S. Olympians. This year marks the 26th year a national championship event has been held in New Haven, making the race the longest consecutive USATF Championship race ever.

Another anniversary perk, all runners registered by August 1st receive a customized race bib that will have their name on it.

The event is organized by JB Sports and a team of local volunteers who make up our Board of Directors. New Haven Road Race President, John Courtmanche states “We’ve been fortunate to continually grow and improve throughout our history. We are proud of the longevity of race and the tradition it has become for our runners. The event’s success over the past 40 years is a reflection of the support we receive from the City of New Haven, our sponsors and the local running community.”

The New Haven Road Race would not be possible without the support of Faxon Law Group, title sponsor since 2007. Joel Faxon, founding partner at Faxon Law Group, states, “We are honored to partner once again with this great event in the City of New Haven. The Faxon Law New Haven Road Race is something our firm and the surrounding community are extremely proud to host each year. We are especially thrilled to support an event that donates thousands of dollars each year to local charities, and uses the same platform and mission as our firm’s Community Builder—to empower, enrich, enlighten and engage each member of our community, bringing groups together for the greater good. It’s a legacy that we treasure on behalf of both our staff and our clients.”

Other major sponsors include Trailblazer, Town Fair Tire, McDermott Lexus, Anthem Blue Cross & Blue Shield, Center for Orthopaedics, TYCO Print & Promo and the City of New Haven. To learn more about the event or to register, visit www.newhavenroadrace.org. Early registration is encouraged; event is limited to 7,000 entrants!
