As AFROTECH™ previously reported, the platform was created by Historically Black College and University (HBCU) alums and brothers Anthony and Ameer Brown to ensure artists can connect with brands and agencies and establish creative campaigns they are compensated for. With an early focus on music, Breakr partnered with BMG and Sony Music and built a roster of clients that included Ye (formerly Kanye West), Young Thug, Megan Thee Stallion, Rick Ross, Future, and Gunna. Additionally, Nas is involved not only as an artist on the platform but also as an investor. He participated in a $4.2 million seed round led by Slow Ventures in 2021. Breakr has expanded its scope beyond the music industry, adding partners such as Hershey, Billboard, Celsius, Samsung, and UMG, information shared with AFROTECH™ notes. In 2022, 30,000 creators had onboarded onto its platform. In 2025, that number has more than doubled, reaching a community...</span></p><div class="flex items-center justify-between"><div class="flex gap-6 text-neutral-gray"><div class="flex"><a href="/author/SamanthaDorisca" class="text-label-mobile transition-colors uppercase lg:text-label-desktop hover:text-main-green"><span>Samantha Dorisca</span></a></div><p class="text-label-mobile uppercase lg:text-label-desktop">Feb 15, 2025</p></div><a href="/creator-marketing-and-tech-platform-breakr-receives-investment-from-live-nation-urban" class="lg:hidden"><svg width="24" height="24" viewbox="0 0 17 16" fill="none" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path fill-rule="evenodd" clip-rule="evenodd" d="M12.4999 11.3333C12.8681 11.3333 13.1666 11.0348 13.1666 10.6666V5.99992V5.33325V3.99992C13.1666 3.63173 12.8681 3.33325 12.4999 3.33325H11.1666L5.16659 3.33325C4.7984 3.33325 4.49992 3.63173 4.49992 3.99992V4.66659C4.49992 5.03478 4.7984 5.33325 5.16659 5.33325H9.49992C9.68401 5.33325 9.83325 5.48249 9.83325 5.66659C9.83325 5.85068 9.68401 5.99992 9.49992 5.99992H8.49992C8.13173 5.99992 7.83325 6.2984 7.83325 6.66659V7.33325C7.83325 7.70144 7.53478 7.99992 7.16659 7.99992H6.49992C6.13173 7.99992 5.83325 8.2984 5.83325 8.66659V9.33325C5.83325 9.70144 5.53478 9.99992 5.16659 9.99992L4.49992 9.99992C4.13173 9.99992 3.83325 10.2984 3.83325 10.6666V11.3333C3.83325 11.7014 4.13173 11.9999 4.49992 11.9999H5.83325C6.20144 11.9999 6.49992 11.7014 6.49992 11.3333V10.6666C6.49992 10.2984 6.7984 9.99992 7.16659 9.99992L7.83325 9.99992C8.20144 9.99992 8.49992 9.70144 8.49992 9.33325V8.66658C8.49992 8.2984 8.7984 7.99992 9.16659 7.99992H9.83325C10.2014 7.99992 10.4999 7.70144 10.4999 7.33325V6.99992C10.4999 6.81582 10.6492 6.66659 10.8333 6.66659C11.0173 6.66659 11.1666 6.81582 11.1666 6.99992V10.6666C11.1666 11.0348 11.4651 11.3333 11.8333 11.3333H12.4999Z" fill="currentColor"></path></svg></a></div></div></div><!----><!--]--><!--[--><div class="lg:flex lg:border-b lg:border-neutral-light-gray"><img src="https://cms.afrotech.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/man-and-woman-work-meet-scaled.jpg" alt="Op-Ed: Laying Off 'Low Performers' Hurts Everyone" title="Op-Ed: Laying Off 'Low Performers' Hurts Everyone" loading="lazy" style="object-position:center top;" class="aspect-[336/300] object-cover w-full lg:aspect-[330/298] lg:flex-[0_0_330px] lg:w-[330px]"><div class="flex flex-col gap-4 py-4 lg:p-6"><div class="flex gap-1 lg:flex-1 lg:items-end lg:order-1"><!--[--><a href="/category/technology" class="global-tag"><span>Technology</span></a><!--]--></div><div><a href="/op-ed-laying-off-low-performers-hurts-everyone" class="text-h3-mobile transition-colors lg:text-h3-desktop hover:text-main-green"><span class="line-clamp-3 lg:line-clamp-2">Op-Ed: Laying Off 'Low Performers' Hurts Everyone</span></a></div><p class="font-roboto text-p2-mobile lg:text-p3"><span class="line-clamp-2">Editorial Note: Opinions and thoughts are the author’s own and not those of AFROTECH™. Significant layoffs have been a consistent theme throughout the world of work for over three years. Whether you work in tech, media, or finance you have seen the news or know of those who have been impacted. Gone is the employment heyday of the pandemic, when firms across the board ramped up their hiring efforts in 2020 and 2021. This led to people embracing new opportunities and getting bumps in compensation that were not previously available. Unfortunately, when the boosts to businesses and balance sheets went away, firms started laying off their workforces in droves. Initially, the reasons behind the cuts were due to overhiring, and companies were looking to streamline their workforces and management in order to move the organizations more nimbly. The media started to refer to it as a “White-Collar Recession” because while other sectors like hospitality and health services saw employment...</span></p><div class="flex items-center justify-between"><div class="flex gap-6 text-neutral-gray"><div class="flex"><a href="/author/Joshua%20Ogundu" class="text-label-mobile transition-colors uppercase lg:text-label-desktop hover:text-main-green"><span>Joshua Ogundu</span></a></div><p class="text-label-mobile uppercase lg:text-label-desktop">Feb 14, 2025</p></div><a href="/op-ed-laying-off-low-performers-hurts-everyone" class="lg:hidden"><svg width="24" height="24" viewbox="0 0 17 16" fill="none" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path fill-rule="evenodd" clip-rule="evenodd" d="M12.4999 11.3333C12.8681 11.3333 13.1666 11.0348 13.1666 10.6666V5.99992V5.33325V3.99992C13.1666 3.63173 12.8681 3.33325 12.4999 3.33325H11.1666L5.16659 3.33325C4.7984 3.33325 4.49992 3.63173 4.49992 3.99992V4.66659C4.49992 5.03478 4.7984 5.33325 5.16659 5.33325H9.49992C9.68401 5.33325 9.83325 5.48249 9.83325 5.66659C9.83325 5.85068 9.68401 5.99992 9.49992 5.99992H8.49992C8.13173 5.99992 7.83325 6.2984 7.83325 6.66659V7.33325C7.83325 7.70144 7.53478 7.99992 7.16659 7.99992H6.49992C6.13173 7.99992 5.83325 8.2984 5.83325 8.66659V9.33325C5.83325 9.70144 5.53478 9.99992 5.16659 9.99992L4.49992 9.99992C4.13173 9.99992 3.83325 10.2984 3.83325 10.6666V11.3333C3.83325 11.7014 4.13173 11.9999 4.49992 11.9999H5.83325C6.20144 11.9999 6.49992 11.7014 6.49992 11.3333V10.6666C6.49992 10.2984 6.7984 9.99992 7.16659 9.99992L7.83325 9.99992C8.20144 9.99992 8.49992 9.70144 8.49992 9.33325V8.66658C8.49992 8.2984 8.7984 7.99992 9.16659 7.99992H9.83325C10.2014 7.99992 10.4999 7.70144 10.4999 7.33325V6.99992C10.4999 6.81582 10.6492 6.66659 10.8333 6.66659C11.0173 6.66659 11.1666 6.81582 11.1666 6.99992V10.6666C11.1666 11.0348 11.4651 11.3333 11.8333 11.3333H12.4999Z" fill="currentColor"></path></svg></a></div></div></div><!----><!--]--><!--[--><div class="lg:flex lg:border-b lg:border-neutral-light-gray"><img src="https://cms.afrotech.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/GettyImages-2162021891.jpg" alt="AI Without Guesswork: How to Create Prompts That Deliver" title="AI Without Guesswork: How to Create Prompts That Deliver" loading="lazy" style="object-position:center top;" class="aspect-[336/300] object-cover w-full lg:aspect-[330/298] lg:flex-[0_0_330px] lg:w-[330px]"><div class="flex flex-col gap-4 py-4 lg:p-6"><div class="flex gap-1 lg:flex-1 lg:items-end lg:order-1"><!--[--><a href="/category/technology" class="global-tag"><span>Technology</span></a><!--]--></div><div><a href="/blavity-ai-bootcamp" class="text-h3-mobile transition-colors lg:text-h3-desktop hover:text-main-green"><span class="line-clamp-3 lg:line-clamp-2">AI Without Guesswork: How to Create Prompts That Deliver</span></a></div><p class="font-roboto text-p2-mobile lg:text-p3"><span class="line-clamp-2">Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping how we create, problem-solve, and engage with technology. But success with AI doesn’t happen by accident — it happens by design. Generative AI tools like ChatGPT and Gemini can be powerful creative partners, but only if you know how to guide them. The key lies in crafting prompts that provide direction, clarity, and context. Whether you’re drafting marketing copy, generating ideas, or solving complex problems, understanding how to talk to AI is essential. Let’s explore the strategies that can turn your prompts into powerful tools for smarter, sharper results. Understanding The Art Of AI Prompting AI thrives on clarity and specificity. Great prompts act like roadmaps — clear directions lead to clear destinations. Yet, crafting those directions requires more than guesswork; it demands strategy.

According to NBC News, the seven-member staff at Down North Pizza consists entirely of formerly incarcerated individuals, including executive chef Michael Carter. Carter was searching for a new beginning after losing his job during the COVID-19 pandemic and selling barbecue meals off his porch. “When I add up the guys who work here, it’s about 63 years incarcerated. So it’s like we understand each other, where we come from,” Carter told NBC. “We had the same barriers when we came home, like whether it be employment, housing, health care — we all had to figure it out.” Carter was one of the first hires at Down North with experience in the kitchen, AFROTECH™ previously reported.

From NBA Player To Successful Businessman Bridgeman was among the 1975 NBA Draft class and was selected in the first round as the eighth pick by the Los Angeles Lakers, notes Basketball Reference. He was soon traded to the Milwaukee Bucks as part of a deal to bring Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to the Lakers. He went on to play with the Bucks until 1984 before spending two years with the Los Angeles Clippers. Bridgeman returned to the Bucks for his final season in 1986-87, according to ESPN. His starting salary in the league was two payments totaling $140,000, but he only saw $55,000 due to taxes and agent fees. Over his 12-year playing career, he earned $2.95 million and never made more than $350,000 in a single season. When Bridgeman retired from the league in 1987, he had already considered a roadmap for his post-career as a businessman.

He also addressed the company’s decision to steer clear from third-party fact-checkers in place of the community notes system and changes in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives.

One year after its inception, the foundation launched the 60,000-square-foot Cact.us Design Center at TXRX Labs, serving at-risk middle and high school students. It offers training, mentorship, and exposure to career paths in graphic design, fashion, and music, according to information shared with AFROTECH™.

On Tuesday, Feb. 11, 2025, Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey, a Republican, filed a lawsuit claiming that the Seattle, WA-based coffee chain enforces “race-and-sex-based hiring practices” and unlawfully segregates employees in violation of anti-discrimination laws, according to a news release. Since taking office for a second term on Jan. 20, 2025, President Donald Trump has signed several executive orders to dismantle federal DEI initiatives. “As Attorney General, I have a responsibility to protect Missourians from a company that actively engages in systemic race and sex discrimination,” Bailey said. “Racism has no place in Missouri.

His talents led him to the NBA in 2007. He was drafted by the Seattle SuperSonics — which no longer exist — in the first round as the second overall pick and secured a four-year rookie contract valued at $19.5 million, per Spotrac. Durant has gone on to become one of the league’s best players and secured two championship rings with the Golden State Warriors after a decade in the league. Now, Durant could be returning to his roots through team ownership. According to USA Today, sources involved in the process named him in a group looking to bid for a WNBA team in Austin, TX.

Well-known for its iconic red branding, this fan favorite has been gracing the shelves of stores since 1886. While it comes from humble beginnings in Atlanta, Georgia Coca-Cola has become a global soft drink sensation; their plethora of products has made a tremendous profit. According to company reports , they made $215 million in just the first quarter of 2024. While the numbers certainly support Coca-Cola’s success, some consumers are starting to question the moral compass of the globally influential brand. Along with countless other popular companies , Coca-Cola is being put in the hot seat. With the ongoing ban on DEI on the federal level, many companies are choosing to follow suit. Some are sticking with inclusive initiatives but overall those seemingly anti-DEI are getting the most attention.

Whether you work in tech, media, or finance you have seen the news or know of those who have been impacted. Gone is the employment heyday of the pandemic, when firms across the board ramped up their hiring efforts in 2020 and 2021. This led to people embracing new opportunities and getting bumps in compensation that were not \u003C/span>\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: var(--global--font-secondary); font-size: var(--global--font-size-base);\">previously \u003C/span>\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: var(--global--font-secondary); font-size: var(--global--font-size-base);\">available.

In a job market like this one, the reason behind losing a job can heavily impact how one navigates their job search. I believe that layoffs and how they are conducted can either strengthen or diminish the trust between management and employees, and this piece will touch on the current state of trust in tech. \u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this week alone we have seen both \u003Ca href=\"https://afrotech.com/meta-lay-off-3600-employees-ceo-mark-zuckerberg-axes-low-performers\">Meta\u003C/a> and Microsoft start laying off the employees that they have identified as low performers. Given that performance evaluations are objective to companies but subjective to employees, it can often bring up questions when companies say the people they cut are truly low performers. This started to come to light as people laid off from Meta and Microsoft went to\u003C/span>\u003Ca href=\"https://www.fastcompany.com/91276893/meta-laid-off-low-performers-defend-themselves-on-linkedin-and-reddit\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Linkedin and Reddit \u003C/span>\u003C/a>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">to voice their frustrations over being let go. Some shared performance review evaluations stating they were anything but low performers. When there is a difference between what a company says and what a company does in relation to their employees, it erodes the trust needed for the relationship to work and grow in a healthy way. \u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gallup tracks 16 representative institutions in the U.S. and tracks the trust in them over time. According to a recent poll, the company has seen a \u003C/span>\u003Ca href=\"https://news.gallup.com/poll/394283/confidence-institutions-down-average-new-low.aspx\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">decline in trust in 11 out of the 16 institutions it tracks\u003C/span>\u003C/a>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The biggest declines in trust came from Congress, Television News, and Big Business, and the institutions that saw the least decline in trust were small businesses, the military, and the \u003Ca href=\"https://afrotech.com/after-cutting-police-department-budget-los-angeles-school-board-diverts-25m-to-services-for-black-students\">police\u003C/a>. Results showed there is an overall decline in trust with big businesses. However previous generations had automatic trust in institutions in a way that isn’t often seen now because fewer people are spending time in those spaces and are instead in spaces like the internet. For those who remain at a company after layoffs, lack of trust means that they not only have less trust in their leadership but also less trust in one another. A low-trust organization breeds distrust, and unnecessary competition between colleagues damages people’s lives inside and outside of work. \u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also when someone is let go for low performance, potential hiring managers may have a misperception about the person before they even read their resume, which can make the job search more difficult for job seekers than it already is. A mark of leadership is not only how they welcome you into the house but how they see you out the door. \u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2020, when \u003Ca href=\"https://afrotech.com/airbnb-prince-home\">Airbnb\u003C/a> lost a lion’s share of its business due to the COVID-19 pandemic and had to conduct layoffs, it went as far as to create a \u003Ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2020/05/15/airbnb-layoffs-tech/\">talent directory as well as a talent placement program for those affected employees\u003C/a>. Alums of companies have also created their own networks to connect with one another after layoffs and offer a helping hand. Those types of actions are how one can go about rebuilding the trust that has been lost within certain institutions and among co-workers. \u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The low-performer label is one that I believe does more harm than good for the employment prospects of those let go. It also hurts those who were let go previously and may still be on the job market. There are much better ways to phrase a reduction in workforce and still get the stock bump that companies tend to get when they let employees go, since it’s a sign to Wall Street that companies are moving more efficiently. \u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Without trust you have nothing, so it’s time for companies to take a more proactive approach to building back the trust between management and labor. People need to be able to believe and trust that if they do right by the business the business will do right by them. \u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n",[159],{"name":101,"slug":102,"id":103},[161,165,169,173],{"id":162,"name":163,"slug":164,"description":89,"image":89},981,"big tech","big-tech",{"id":166,"name":167,"slug":168,"description":89,"image":89},8281,"Meta","meta",{"id":170,"name":171,"slug":172,"description":89,"image":89},62,"Microsoft","microsoft",{"id":174,"name":175,"slug":175,"description":89,"image":89},2489,"unemployment",{"url":177,"thumbnail":178,"credit":179,"title":180,"alt":181,"type":131,"height":182,"width":183,"mimeType":134},"https://cms.afrotech.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/man-and-woman-work-meet-scaled.jpg","https://cms.afrotech.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/man-and-woman-work-meet-160x107.jpg","Matthew Henry","Casual business interview","Man and woman sit at a table in casual attire",1706,2560,"2025-02-14T17:38:11-05:00",[],3,{"disableConnatixPlayer":138},{"id":189,"author":190,"authors":200,"title":202,"subTitle":96,"excerpt":89,"slug":203,"body":204,"categories":205,"tags":207,"featuredMedia":216,"publishedAt":223,"updatedAt":223,"type":136,"listicle":224,"disableContentGate":138,"disableListicleNumbers":138,"canonicalUrl":89,"socialThumbnail":89,"readingTime":139,"customFields":225},212403,{"id":191,"avatar":192,"firstName":193,"lastName":194,"displayName":195,"email":196,"username":195,"normalizedUsername":197,"description":198,"htmlBio":89,"twitter":89,"facebook":89,"instagram":89,"registeredAt":199},115,"https://cms.afrotech.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/J-Rodgers-Pic-2.jpg","Josh","Rodgers","Josh Rodgers","Josh.Rodgers@blavity.com","josh-rodgers","Lover of Culture.

Strong prompts bridge the gap between your ideas and the AI’s output, guiding it to deliver responses that are sharp, relevant, and on brand. Crafting prompts with clear objectives, defined roles, and thoughtful tone-setting ensures that your outputs not only meet expectations but often exceed them.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>Effective prompting also empowers you to take control of AI’s \u003Ca href=\"https://afrotech.com/artificial-intelligence-in-education\">creative potential.\u003C/a> By refining how you define tasks, set boundaries, and express goals, you transform the technology from a simple tool into a dynamic creative partner. Over time, you’ll find that well-crafted prompts reduce revisions, sharpen output quality, and help you maintain consistency across multiple projects.\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch2>Build Your Prompting Power\u003C/h2>\n\u003Cp>Mastering prompting is an evolving craft — one that becomes intuitive through experimentation and experience. Each interaction with AI is an opportunity to sharpen your approach, blending precision with creativity. With time, you’ll move beyond simple requests to building workflows that make AI a true extension of your capabilities.

Although they have a \u003Ca href=\"https://www.coca-colacompany.com/social/diversity-and-inclusion\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">standard corporate website page\u003C/a> about their general DEI outlook, they are not restating their commitments. The company already has ongoing boycotts being staged concerning other ethical issues. Namely, some consumers are avoiding the company for its financial and organizational investment in what they deem to be unethical causes, like ties to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. So, on top of the public backlash for donations to far-right organizations, Coca-Cola has to deal with DEI concerns. The big problem is that executives have been pretty quiet about the matter, leading the public to believe the worst. \u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite the widespread uproar surrounding the subject of DEI, the company has yet to release a public statement. Many people are assuming they do not plan to release a statement unless majorly pressured since the silence has gone on so long. Additionally, a large majority of the public backlash comes from the Latino community. In the wake of Trump’s commitment to carry out the largest deportation of undocumented immigrants ever, people are keeping an eye on the company’s involvement with him. Coca-Cola’s substantial brand presence in Mexico in particular has consumer’s side-eyeing them. Mexico’s per capita consumption of Coca-Cola’s beverages is the highest in the world; knowing this, a boycott will surely make a difference eventually.\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch2>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Coke Vs. Pepsi Debate Is Back\u003C/span>\u003C/h2>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There have even been reports on the company’s contributions to political movements. In 2024, Coca-Cola donated $50,000 to Make America Great Again Inc. which turns out to be linked to Trump’s campaign. Over the year the company donated a total of $110,660 to candidates in both the Democratic and Republican parties. Technically, \u003C/span>\u003Ca href=\"https://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/coca-cola-co/recipients?id=D000000212\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">according to Open Secrets\u003C/span>\u003C/a>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Republicans received more funds. This was followed by the company’s gift to Trump upon his inauguration. The CEO of the Coca-Cola Company personally delivered a commemorative inauguration Coke bottle to the new president. It became the first ever customized presidential commemorative Coke bottle since the company changed it to Diet, which is a favorite of POTUS’.\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On top of that, there have been rumors about the company firing or reporting immigrant workers to ICE. These allegations have yet to be confirmed or denied but consumers are not happy with the company’s lack of clarification. There are a significant number of people who are either switching to Pepsi or not drinking Coke anymore. Online there is a running joke that “Pepsi has always been better” due to Coca-Cola’s antics. Time will only tell what impacts this might have on the company’s profits and brand reputation. \u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n",[484],{"name":245,"slug":246,"id":247},[486,490,491],{"id":487,"name":488,"slug":489,"description":89,"image":89},370,"Coca-Cola","coca-cola",{"id":382,"name":383,"slug":384,"description":89,"image":89},{"id":387,"name":388,"slug":389,"description":89,"image":89},{"url":493,"thumbnail":494,"credit":495,"title":496,"alt":497,"type":131,"height":498,"width":183,"mimeType":134},"https://cms.afrotech.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/maximilian-bruck-4SKdRcY13j4-unsplash-scaled.jpg","https://cms.afrotech.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/maximilian-bruck-4SKdRcY13j4-unsplash-160x90.jpg","Maximilian Bruck/Unsplash ","The Coca Cola Company","Coca Cola’s stance on DEI has been left to the imagination.",1440,"2025-02-13T16:45:03-05:00",[],{"disableConnatixPlayer":138},{"id":503,"author":504,"authors":505,"title":507,"subTitle":96,"excerpt":89,"slug":508,"body":509,"categories":510,"tags":515,"featuredMedia":520,"publishedAt":524,"updatedAt":524,"type":136,"listicle":525,"disableContentGate":138,"disableListicleNumbers":138,"canonicalUrl":89,"socialThumbnail":89,"readingTime":139,"customFields":526},212271,{"id":191,"avatar":192,"firstName":193,"lastName":194,"displayName":195,"email":196,"username":195,"normalizedUsername":197,"description":198,"htmlBio":89,"twitter":89,"facebook":89,"instagram":89,"registeredAt":199},[506],{"id":191,"avatar":192,"firstName":193,"lastName":194,"displayName":195,"email":196,"username":195,"normalizedUsername":197,"description":198,"htmlBio":89,"twitter":89,"facebook":89,"instagram":89,"registeredAt":199},"How Autumn Lockwood’s College Education Led To Her Making History As The First Black Woman On A Super Bowl-Winning Coaching Staff","where-did-autumn-lockwood-attend-college","\u003Cp>\u003Cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Maya Angelou once said, “You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated.” Autumn Lockwood’s collegiate and professional journey embodies this spirit of resilience and perseverance.\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Her story isn’t just about accolades—it’s about the power of persistence to overcome barriers often encountered in a male-dominated industry.
