Doesn't add up:
- 3 days in jail for a traffic stop?
- No bond?
- commit suicide after landing dream job?

But this video might make you think differently. Investment executive Mellody Hobson starts off by talking about an embarrassing moment. She suggests a really compelling thought experiment at 4:16, and at 9:04, she tells us why diversity’s good for business.”
