Thank you, Robin Hood Blue Ridge Labs for supporting this work.
We had the absolute privilege at Robin Hood Blue Ridge Labs meeting Jessica Hicklin, Co-Founder of Unlocked Labs, and I am deeply moved by her courage and dedication to breaking the cycle of re-incarceration. Jessica’s mission with Unlocked Labs goes beyond innovation—she’s creating pathways for second chances, paving the way for formerly incarcerated individuals to build brighter futures. The work she and her team are doing is both brave and inspiring, tackling systemic challenges with empathy, resilience, and a relentless drive to create change. It takes immense courage to address an issue as complex as re-incarceration, and Jessica is leading the charge with passion and purpose. I’m honored to have crossed paths with her and look forward to seeing the continued impact of her incredible work! Holly Jooyoung Diamond ?? Olivia (Levenson) Korchagin E.

We were excited to see our work with the City Justice Center featured on KSDK - 5 On Your Side tonight! ?? For many of us at Unlocked Labs, this mission is deeply personal. Jessica Hicklin, our co-founder, knows firsthand what it’s like to face re-entry. "I had two choices when I walked out, to act like it didn't happen or to do something good with it," Hicklin shared.?

Tech for Social Impact | Team Builder | Executive Director, MIT Solve | Driving Innovation to Solve Global Challenges
Instead of getting caught up in attempting to predict the future of AI, what if we took it upon ourselves to build a better future with it? That’s one of the many common values we share with The Patrick J. McGovern Foundation. And that’s why we are proud to be part of their $73.5M investment in human-centered AI this year. “AI is a powerful tool - but the real power lies in choosing to use it for humanity” -- PJMF’s President Vilas Dhar. Amen. And the real deal is the real-world solutions that are using AI to tackle today’s most urgent challenges. That’s why we’re so proud of our Solvers who received additional PJMF support this year (+ many more in previous years!): Unlocked Labs, AnnieCannons, Learning Equality and more. Thank you Vilas, Liz McGovern, Patrick McGovern, for believing in us and partnering on this journey. And many thanks to Nick Cain, Michelle Pomerantz, Yolanda Botti-Lodovico, Topaz Mukulu and the entire PJMF team for making things happen. https://lnkd.in/esuPP6Kn #AIforGood #ResponsibleAI #TechForJustice #InnovationWithImpact
