We have a collaborative and unifying show for you this week on Episode 176 of The Hidden Workforce!
Welcome Malayna Hasmanis, PhD candidate and Founder of the nonprofit, Unity Forward Oklahoma. Malayna says it best- they are here to break barriers and build bridges.
Unity Forward OK fosters collaboration with nonprofits that are experts in their services for people who live with different abilities and neurodiversities to help bridge gaps so people find the supports and community they need. Through strong partnerships with Autism Foundation of Oklahoma and The ARC of Oklahoma, they host multiple events for people with neurodiversities to build community together.
Malayna also shares her lived experiences as a self-advocate, how she has tied in her incredible academic journey into the work she does now, how and why she started Unity Forward Oklahoma- the amazing work they are doing, and how they are making an impact.
Neurodiverse friends, advocates, and allies- if you have been looking for community- UFO is the place for you and this is the show for you to tune in to!

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
