    “We’re really grateful for the intention that Basta brings to our partnership, the curiosity, and the data-driven approach that Basta takes. They’re deeply aligned to the work that we are doing and allow our coaches and our team to proactively engage with their students for success in the moment, but more importantly, for building out equitable future outcomes for our students and their communities.”

    “Basta's impact on me is immeasurable. If I can put it into words, it has made me feel like I belong in a place like Bloomberg—that I have a voice and that voice is just as important as my colleagues who did not necessarily share my experiences. We should always feel like we belong and can have the same impact regardless of our backgrounds.”
