I am 25 years old and the eldest of six children for my mother. I grew up in a single parent home in the rough at-risk community of Jones Town also known as ‘Jungle’. This is not an easy community to survive in especially as a male, where the negative influences are everywhere and one is able to fall victim to them very easily.”</p> <p>Odell is DIA participant at the Urban Innovation Lab and takes courses on business models and innovation. “My project focuses on capturing the true essence of the Jamaican culture and through the Patois Language App. The language app allows the user to translate English language to Patois. With the help of DIA, I have been able to create and test the app, as well as creating a vision board for how it should looks and how it should function. DIA gives me hope and I know innovation is the next big thing.”</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="storyPreview"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-12"> <div class="storyTitle"> <h4>Renata Mendez</h4> <div>POETA Center, Brasilia</div> </div> </div> <div class="col-12 col-md-5 left"> <img class="w-100" src="/media/pages/home/stories/renata-mendez-story.jpg"> </div> <div class="col-12 col-md-7 right"> <p>“I come from a rural area in the State of Pará, where there were no hospitals or schools… How could I imagine having access to a computer or the Internet?
