Had a blast at the fundraiser featuring Jaime Jáquez Jr. He's doing amazing work, transitioning from #UCLA to @MiamiHEAT while continuing to support students through scholarships. And the whole family is invested in serving our communities. Proud of these #Latino trailblazers. 🔥

@jemelehill 70% of white adults don’t have friends outside of their race, the highest of any demographic in the U.S. That plays a huge role with promotions when they’re based on relationship building.
