AUSTIN, Texas, June 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — DivInc, the leading startup accelerator for people of color and women entrepreneurs, is proud to announce a new partnership with the Downtown Austin Alliance Foundation (DAAF) and the Downtown Austin Space Activation (DASA) initiative.

Both DivInc and the Downtown Austin Alliance Foundation prioritize community building through engaging and educational experiences. They see this partnership as an opportunity to further these efforts in Austin’s downtown corridor.

“Last year, the Downtown Austin Alliance approached us with the idea of creating a space for diverse entrepreneurs and creatives to connect. We were immediately on board with the concept because we believe meaningful collaboration is critical to scaling community impact,” said DivInc Co-Founder & CEO, Preston James. “We’re thrilled to be selected as one of the pilot partners and look forward to seeing founders innovate together in the heart of Downtown Austin.”

Through DASA, the Downtown Alliance is transforming empty, underutilized spaces and turning them into a platform for social impact, community connectivity, and inclusive prosperity. Through supporting diverse artists, business owners, and more, downtown sustains its vibrancy and cultivates economic, social, and cultural benefits.  The DASA program is made possible by support from the Downtown Austin Alliance Foundation. 

“The DASA program is an innovative solution that can eliminate barriers for small businesses, local artists, and entrepreneurs to showcase their work while also increasing downtown activity, vibrancy, and value. DASA connects creatives to available space and resources to bring their ideas to life, and with it, more people come to downtown more often.” Dewitt Peart, president and CEO of the Downtown Alliance, said. “We can’t bring this program to life without partners like DivInc. The work they do elevates underrepresented entrepreneurs in tech and makes them an ideal partner to pilot and grow this program together.”

As part of the Downtown Austin Space Activation launch, DivInc will host a series of events between June and November 2024. The first, ‘Freedom Code: Advancing Liberty Through Technology Panel,’ will take place on June 19 in celebration of Juneteenth, and will feature DivInc CEO and Co-Founder Preston James, Chris Hyams, CEO of Indeed, and Ifeoma Ike, Partner at Pink Cornrows. This event is also supported by PNC Foundation, Regions Bank, and Tingari-Silverton.

Life After Hate Launches HateEraser–A Revolutionary Spray Paint Remover to Eliminate Hate-Based Graffiti

HateEraser removes hate-based graffiti in communities and gives first-time offenders a second chance through judge-mandated service

NEW YORK, Nov. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Today, on the International Day for Tolerance and in response to the alarming 600% rise in hate-based graffiti, the Chicago-based nonprofit Life After Hate has launched HateEraser—the first aerosol-gel based formula designed to quickly eradicate hate speech from most surfaces.

Life After Hate is partnering with police stations across the country to distribute HateEraser as part of a new program in which first-time offenders are required to use it during court-mandated community service. This initiative is based on the belief that educating offenders on the damage their actions cause can help prevent them from continuing a life of hate.

“We know that hate-based speech and hate-based graffiti are the first steps to hate-based violence,” remarked Life After Hate Director Pat Riccards. “HateEraser works to change the futures of people motivated by hate and extremist ideologies through education, community service, and helping people alter their path away from a life of continued radical hate.”

The HateEraser formula contains acetone, xylene, and multiple varieties of alcohol and hydrocarbons. “This unique combination of active ingredients,” according to Savannah Technical College Chemistry Professor Ujjvala Bagal, “removes hateful markings as quickly as they were made.”

Street artists do not want to be associated with hate-based graffiti. That’s why they joined in on the HateEraser effort. The cans were designed by street artists from across the country to help inspire change in their communities, with every design telling a different story of acceptance, anti-hate, and empathy. “The hope is that through the HateEraser program, education, action, and strengthening hate crime laws, we can help foster a safe and more accepting community,” said Dina Peck, Chief Creative Officer of The Purpose Group.

“Hate has no place in our art,” Jax, one of the artists on the project, said. “And I’m proud to be a part of something that makes real change in my community.”

Today’s news is the latest glimpse into how Life After Hate has been embracing several innovative solutions for helping individuals disengage from hateful violence and make our communities safer. Last May, the organization unveiled Daily Former Discord, a multi-level public engagement tool. It’s designed to help those currently engaged in violent extremism, those looking to exit such hate groups, and those who have successfully left lives of hate behind reengage in society.

DermRays Black Friday Event Offers Year’s Biggest Savings and Industry Recognition

PLEASANTON, Calif., Nov. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — This Black Friday, DermRays is excited to announce its most significant sale of the year, offering $130 off sitewide from November 16-30th, 2024. With this limited-time discount, customers can experience the brand’s advanced home laser hair removal technology at unbeatable prices. Don’t miss out on this exclusive opportunity to invest in smoother, hair-free skin for less.

In recognition of our commitment to quality and innovation, DermRays V6S model was recently ranked second among the top ten at-home laser hair removal devices globally by Harper’s Bazaar. In their article, “The 10 Best At-Home Laser Hair Removal Devices, According to the Pros“, DermRays stood out as a trusted leader, celebrated for delivering professional-grade results in a convenient, at-home device. For more details, you can explore the full article from Harper’s Bazaar.

It’s essential to clarify the long-term goals of laser hair removal. Technically, it is a process of “laser hair reduction” rather than complete “removal,” as some hair regrowth is normal over time. Even with consistent treatments, new hair from dormant follicles may appear after one to three years. At-home laser devices offer a manageable, convenient skincare routine, giving lasting, visible results in a way that’s easier, faster, and more affordable than traditional methods like waxing or shaving. DermRays aims to set realistic expectations and empower customers with effective, salon-quality solutions at home.

Join us this Black Friday to experience DermRays’ transformative technology at our lowest prices ever, and enjoy smoother, more radiant skin.
