It’s More Than Who You Know

This week, I’m talking to Halleemah Nash, who is the founder of Rosecrans Ventures. She is a people strategist, social entrepreneur, and internship innovator dedicated to scaling professional development solutions for Generation Z talent of color. Halleemah is passionate about creating environments where excellence and cultural authenticity intersect. 

She discusses how we can build tomorrow’s diverse workforce for today and shares insights about attracting and retaining diverse talent. One such insight is that there should be a deeper talent acquisition strategy than simply networking with people you already know. Sufficient effort and work must be put into reimagining what talent looks like; if it’s too easy to hire someone, you’ll end up with the same thing over and over.
