Sisters Michelle and Grace Cho forged an unlikely path to the entertainment industry, fulfilling their childhood dreams. But not everyone has that chance. Today, they’re building tech nonprofit Gladeo, using tech and media to help anyone discover and pursue a dream career.
Following your dreams is a privilege often reserved for those who can afford it. Michelle and Grace Cho are on a mission to change that. Born to immigrant parents, these sisters forged an unlikely path to Hollywood, fulfilling their childhood dreams of making it in the entertainment industry. Today, they’re building tech nonprofit, a digital media platform connecting underserved students with videos and digital content that make the process of discovering and pursuing a dream career a reality.
We were inspired to volunteer as mentors for underserved youth, offering free college and career planning workshops. We were shocked by the sheer lack of resources available to help students to prep for 21st century careers. So, we built a solution ourselves: Shannon: Explain Gladeo to me. How is the platform different from other career exploration tools out there?People are most inspired by those they relate to. Their stories, their struggles, their successes. If you come from a group that’s historically underrepresented, like women in STEM or Asian Americans in media, it can be paradigm-shifting to see someone like you doing something that you never thought possible.
Michelle Cho interviews Jorge Torres, Dentsu Aegis Network, for a Gladeo video with Gladeo League members Lucas Talbot and Connor BahngShannon: Can you tell us a story about how Gladeo has positively affected a person’s life?: 17 year old Angelica watched a Gladeo video of Jeanette at a time when she’d never met a hispanic female engineer before. In the video, Jeanette shared the fear she felt being the first in her family to go to college - a fear that resonated with Angelica.
