This week's blog post explores each party's role in mitigating algorithmic bias and provides insights on how to better address this challenge, regardless of your role.

And sometimes, having our furry friends by our side, like my pup in the background, adds an extra sprinkle of joy to our moments. Keep smiling, it truly makes a difference! 😊🐾 #Smile #Positivity #JoyfulMoments

Congratulations Carla Vaca Pinacho, CDP®!!
It's incredible to think that almost a year and a half ago, I was going through the DEI Apprenticeship application process implemented for the first time in an agency structure at Miles Partnership with the help of Tourism Diversity Matters! It's incredible to think that almost TWO years ago, I was working with Ashley Schroeder on the Time for DMOcracy study at the University of South Carolina College of Hospitality, Retail and Sport Management. A study focused on defining best practices in building successful, resilient and enduring partnership with local community groups and business. A study that included a focus on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, which I was so intrigued and passionate about. It's incredible to think about that after a year of internal DEI education sessions and learning education with Institute for Diversity Certification, (IDC), Inc. (formerly The Society For Diversity), I have finally received my Certified Diversity Professional certificate. While this is a fantastic accomplishment for me, this does not mean that my education will stop and that my journey with DEI education will become any easier. This certification shows that I have gotten an understanding of the tools I can use and practice throughout my career. I want to thank Miles Partnership's leadership team, such as Melissa Cherry, CDIO of our DEI Team, for giving me the opportunity and time to pursue this certification and Najauna White, CMP, CDE®, VP of DEI, for guiding me throughout the process and giving me the confidence to complete it. I am incredibly grateful for the organization I work for, which is committed to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. While not all destinations have the opportunity, resources, or power to support such initiatives, I am glad that our team can lend a hand and support where ever possible and needed throughout the travel and tourism industry. #dei #travel #tourism #LatinosinTravel #certified
