Dr. Anna Chacon continues her partnership with Haute Beauty Network in her second year as a Skin Expert representing the Miami, FL market.
NEW YORK, Nov. 6, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Dr. Anna Chacon is a board-certified dermatologist who has a passion for helping patients resolve their dermatologic conditions from the comfort of their homes. She grew up in Miami, Florida, and has lived in many different regions such as Chicago; Los Angeles, California; Providence, Rhode Island; Arctic Alaska; Cairo, Egypt; Haifa, Israel; and Buenos Aires, Argentina. She has a lifelong passion for being a doctor and physician, which was inspired by her father, Dr. Chacon, a pioneer in critical care in South Florida and founder of the largest private intensive care unit in the area. After frequently attending work with her father at the hospital, rounding and watching him care for others during natural disasters and times of need with a great sense of compassion, she knew from a young age that becoming a doctor was her calling and what she was born to do.
During a special leadership conference held in Florida, every business owner attending decided to stand shoulder-to-shoulder; joining forces to do something about this—right now, right now!
They started by sending over 1,500 books to Boys and Girls Clubs in their communities. The mission of Boys and Girls Clubs is to enable all young people to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens, especially those in need. These leaders support the vision of this national network of world-class clubs putting hope and safety within reach of every young person, and putting them on track to graduate from high school with a plan for the future, learning good character and citizenship, and living a healthy lifestyle.
Reading is a vital cornerstone for our youth! Their future and the future of this society depends on this ability.
Dr. Murphy said, “We all need to do our part. I consider my greatest responsibility is to help others, and especially our youth. Boys and Girls Clubs are leading the way in showing us that something can be done about it; something can be done about illiteracy by everyone pitching in.” And further stated, “Young adults are shown what’s possible through enhancing literacy. This not only helps them to heighten their imagination, but also boosts their hopes and dreams; thus, creating a love for reading, which opens the doors to many opportunities.”

Furthermore, when he graduated from SUI Dental School, he received an award from The Academy of Operative Dentistry.

Other benefits to DEI for organizations include greater cash flow and the ability to capture new markets as well as increased profitability. Studies have found 2.3 times higher cash flow than those of companies with more monolithic staff.(3) Diverse organizations are also 70% more likely to capture new markets than companies that do not incorporate under-represented groups in their recruitment processes.(4) Finally, a 1% increase in racial diversity similarity between upper and lower management increases firm productivity by between $729 and $1,590 per employee per year.(5)
The first step in bridging the diversity gap is to develop representation. As Lee says, “There are a million ways to accomplish something in tech. The more diverse perspective you have, the stronger product you get. Tech is used by everyone, so it should be created by a representation of everyone.”
He challenges organizations to:
Actually want to solve the problem. If an organization doesn’t really care, then it will show in their efforts and results.
Talk to current Black employees and create a safe space for them to talk about their experience.
Engage with the local community, from historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) to Black tech organizations such as Cyversity, NSBE and ACM, among others, and connect talent departments to these pipelines.
Become intentional about diversity, equity and inclusion Lee finds that having an intentional DE&I program helps bring awareness and representation to the field of cybersecurity. “Organizations need to engage with HBCU’s,” he advises “Connect with their computer science and engineering departments to host events and provide pathways to connect with candidates.”
Other ways that cybersecurity companies or any organization can boost their employee diversity include creating a safe space for workers to connect with their co-workers and embrace their culture via employee resource groups. Offering leadership training on bias that includes open and intentional conversations with company leaders about bias can also be beneficial.
Lee’s firsthand experiences as a Black professional within the technology industry inspired him to write “The Only One in the Room: The Unwritten Laws of Being Black in Tech.” The book shares the challenges he and other African Americans have faced in that sector, in addition to drawing attention to the importance of representation and diversity in reshaping the industry.
Lee concludes, “Representation absolutely matters, and the best way to promote diversity is to SHOW diversity in your organization by including your diverse workforce in the public facing aspects of your company. Not to show it off as a shiny toy, but to show your workforce and how they interact.”

According to the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU), nationally Hispanic enrollment in institutions of higher education is expected to exceed more than 4 million by 2026, surpassing the growth rate of any other ethnic group by over 10%.
Over its 50-year history, National University has grown to become the largest conferrer of graduate degrees to Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) students in the country, and a top three conferrer of doctoral degrees overall. More than 50% of NU graduates are women, 50% of NU undergraduate students are active-duty military, Veterans, and dependents, and about 40% of NU students are first-generation college students. “MCCCD is excited to share our commitment with National University continuing to find new ways, through this incredible tuition discount opportunity, to ensure Hispanic/Latino learners are equipped with the tools and resources needed to ensure academic success and close equity gaps,” said MCCCD Chancellor Dr. Steven R. Gonzales. “While college enrollment of Hispanic and Latino students continues to rise, so does our determination to empower our diverse student populations to reach greater heights through higher education.”
As Hispanic Serving Institutions, NU and MCCCD share a mission to remove barriers so that nontraditional students, including working, diverse, and military students, will have the best access to quality education. NU delivers on this by offering a credential-rich education with industry-relevant degree programs ensuring graduates are well prepared for real-world challenges. NU’s holistic approach to student support, well-being, and success – called Whole Human Education™ — focuses on supporting the whole student by offering the financial, academic, emotional, career, and family support students need to successfully attain a higher education degree.
The NU and MCCCD partnership provides striving community college students seamless transfer pathways and offers a 25% tuition discount scholarship for current students and for recent alumni who have graduated with a transferable associate degree.
