I’m proud to be joining as a Founding Member the Advisory Council of the newly launched #ForbesAPEX – a global community of API entrepreneurs, professionals, leaders, and creators who are driving systematic change in business, culture, and society. ForbesAPEX is focused on best-in-class editorial content and community experiences that advance representation and inclusion, and I’m looking forward to serving as a partner in influencing and advancing the community to ensure all of our voices are heard. More than a year ago, I connected with Kimi Kurata Lobo, Maneet Ahuja, and Ali jackson-jolley and learned about the vision of #ForbesAPEX, though we hadn’t quite landed on the name at that point. I was so excited to learn more about the idea and the work being done by our ForbesBLK friends that I made the trip to Atlanta to see it in person. I was blown away and was so excited to build something special for our own community. It was there I met Seth Cohen and learned more about the broader vision of Forbes and how APEX fits into that. Over the past year, I’ve seen the hard work that Maneet, Ali, Kimi, and the rest of the team have put in to put ForbesAPEX into motion. And today we officially announce to the world what we intend to do to uplift and amplify our community and its leaders. The most humbling part is knowing who I stand shoulder-to-shoulder with in the pursuit of our mission. Truly trailblazers and world changers in business and community: ??

On Tuesday, President Biden announced a new rule from the Environmental Protection Agency that will require the replacement of nearly all the lead pipes in the U.S. within 10 years, an effort to improve the quality of drinking water. One company that will almost surely benefit from the new regulation is Walter Wang's Los Angeles-based business, JM Eagle -- one of the world’s largest makers of plastic pipes.
