The Zing Minute: Gemologist Adrianne Sanogo (JCK Las Vegas June 2022). In this 60 second clip, Emili Vesilind interviews Adrianne who brings awareness to the launch of The Women’s Jewelry Association Foundation’s new Radiant Minds Technology Scholarship. The goal of the scholarship is to provide women of color the education they need to be successful in tech-related jobs within the jewelry industry. Jewelers Mutual and Black in Jewelry Coalition have provided financial support to make the scholarship possible. The selected scholarship recipient will be awarded funding up to $17,500 to pay for a training or certification program focused on software engineering (i.e., UI/UX, data analytics, front and back-end design and development, etc.) at a school of their choice (options include university education, bootcamp education, etc.), approved by the scholarship committee.

A quick view of my unbelievable once in a lifetime journey, into the world of gemology.
