Inspired to Plant Seeds

Three friends and I co-founded a nonprofit called Inspire out of our kitchen in the South End of Boston. This year marks the 20th anniversary of securing the all-important 501(c)(3) status. Why did I do Inspire? For the best of motives, of course. As I told guests at Inspire’s annual…

Want Green Jobs? Teach Green Skills.

This Earth Day, I am reminded of an environmentalism kick my mom went on when I was little. It began with a strict policy of switching off lights. Then she made recycling her religion. Finally, she decided we shouldn’t use paper bags because too many trees were being cut down…

Making Community College Work for All

When my mom arrived in the United States from India, she knew right away that this was a land of opportunity — if you had the right education. Although she was smart and ambitious, she lacked the money, the time, or the English language skills to attend a four-year institution…
