Visualizing Data Equity with Meena Das at NamasteData

Meena Das embodied the tech career path – gaining experience, immigrating to the US, following the job offer to Seattle – and then it happened: data inequity. She became an invisible number just when she really needed to be seen and counted.

To meet Meena – even just to hear her talk – is to want to get to know her. She is open and accessible.

And I wondered, what is she talking about when she talks about data equity? How is she able to build an occupation centered in data equity? What made her want to do that?

Now you can listen in as she shares her story. One person can make a difference and Meena is starting a movement. After you listen to the interview, join her and amplify her quest to Do Good With Data.

Success Stories

I love your Master Class format – small group, clearly defined curriculum, solid professional information and resources and focus on discussion.  But most importantly I was impressed and delighted to see that you incorporated an additional and extremely practical layer of knowledge, through hands on experience with tools (pivot tables) or resources (Candid).  This adds real value to the educational experience you offer.

Jen’s course on insider stock and compensation was informative, interesting, and well-thought out. Jen broke down the complicated material into digestible pieces. She showed us resources that I use in my day-to-day research that I wouldn’t have otherwise known about. Jen is always quick to respond and has been helpful even after the class has ended. She answers questions thoroughly and is always pleasant.

I was able to take what I learned from the course and present the material to our front-line fundraisers. One fundraiser told me after my presentation that she discovered one of her donor’s compensation was much higher than she thought. So, already, this information has come in handy! Thanks again Jen!

The Capacity Rating Workshop was really useful. I was new to the prospect research field when I took the workshop, so it helped to demystify capacity ratings for me. The online classroom provided a great forum for interaction with the other participants and for a robust exchange of ideas. Beyond that though, Jen shared a wealth of information and resources about capacity ratings and other important aspects of prospect research. I highly recommend this workshop whether you’re new to the field or have years of experience in our profession.
