Senate Bill 14: A Step Forward in Promoting Diversity and Inclusion in the Beauty Industry

Post author By Di Tran
Post date March 30, 2024

On March 29, 2024, Governor Andy Beshear signed Senate Bill 14 into law, marking a significant advancement in the beauty industry’s efforts toward diversity, inclusion, and workforce development. Sponsored by Senator Reginald Thomas and a bipartisan group of legislators, the bill amends several key statutes to make the cosmetology and nail technician professions more accessible and equitable, particularly for immigrants and underrepresented populations.

Key Provisions of Senate Bill 14

The bill introduces several important changes aimed at creating a more inclusive environment for beauty service professionals:

1.  Expanded Board Representation: The Kentucky Board of Cosmetology will now include a licensed nail technician and an additional citizen-at-large member, ensuring that the board reflects the diversity of the industry it regulates.
2.  Language Accessibility: Written tests for licensing will be available in an applicant’s first or second fluent language, and certified interpreters will be provided for oral exams. This measure is crucial for non-English speaking applicants, many of whom are immigrants seeking to establish their careers in the United States.
3.  Retesting Flexibility: Applicants who fail any portion of the licensing exam can retake the failed portion one month after receiving a failure notice, with no limit on the number of times they can retake the exam. The retesting fee is capped at $35 per exam, reducing financial barriers for aspiring professionals.
4.  Violation Remediation: The bill requires that a warning notice be issued for violations, except in cases that present an immediate and present danger. This approach allows salon owners and technicians to correct issues without facing immediate penalties, fostering a cooperative relationship between the industry and regulators.

Implications for Diversity and Inclusion

Senate Bill 14 is a testament to Kentucky’s commitment to diversity and inclusion within its workforce. By removing language and financial barriers, the bill opens up opportunities for individuals from diverse backgrounds to enter and thrive in the beauty industry. This is particularly significant for immigrants and underrepresented groups, who often face challenges in obtaining professional licenses due to linguistic and economic obstacles.

Furthermore, the bill’s emphasis on fair treatment and remediation in case of violations promotes a more just and equitable regulatory environment. It acknowledges the importance of providing all industry participants with the opportunity to succeed and rectify mistakes, thereby building trust between the government and the beauty services sector.

In essence, Senate Bill 14 is not just a legislative change; it is a reflection of Kentucky’s dedication to creating an inclusive, diverse, and skilled workforce. By embracing the rich tapestry of cultures and languages that makeup its population, the state sets an example for others to follow in promoting diversity and inclusion in all professional fields. This law is a step forward in ensuring that the beauty industry, a sector that celebrates diversity and self-expression, is accessible and welcoming to all who wish to be a part of it.

The Rise of Women and the Inevitable Shift Towards Diversity and Inclusion

Post author By Di Tran
Post date March 8, 2024

In the past few decades, we’ve witnessed a significant shift in the landscape of higher education. Since the turn of the millennium, there has been a noticeable trend: more women are graduating from college than men. The statistics speak volumes, with women now making up 60%-70% of college graduates. This shift is not just a number; it’s a reflection of a broader societal transformation that is reshaping our expectations and norms.

Women Leading the Way

The increasing number of women in higher education is a testament to the progress we’ve made in gender equality. It’s a sign that barriers are being broken down and that women are claiming their rightful place in academic and professional spheres. This trend is particularly inspiring because it challenges the traditional expectations that have long held women back. The notion that men should be the primary breadwinners or that women should prioritize family over career is becoming outdated. Today, women are leading by example, showing that they can excel in both academia and the workforce.

The Parallel with Diversity and Inclusion

The rise of women in higher education is parallel to another significant trend: the increasing diversity of our society. Just as women are breaking through the glass ceiling, people of color and immigrants are making their presence felt in all areas of life. Predictions suggest that what we currently consider minorities will soon form the majority. This shift is inevitable, yet it’s a reality that some still try to resist.

The resistance to diversity and inclusion is reminiscent of the challenges women have faced in their journey towards equality. Just as women have had to fight for their place in academia and the workforce, so too do minorities and immigrants face obstacles in their pursuit of recognition and respect. The reluctance to embrace diversity and inclusion is a reflection of a fear of change, a clinging to outdated norms that no longer serve our evolving society.

Embracing the Inevitable

The rise of women in higher education and the increasing diversity of our population are not just trends; they are indicators of a fundamental shift in our society. They signal a move towards a more inclusive, equitable world where everyone has the opportunity to succeed, regardless of gender, race, or background.

As we move forward, it’s essential that we embrace this shift. We must recognize that diversity and inclusion are not just buzzwords but are critical to our progress as a society. By valuing the contributions of women, people of color, and immigrants, we can build a stronger, more vibrant future for all.

In conclusion, the rise of women in higher education is not just a statistic; it’s a symbol of a broader movement towards equality and inclusion. It’s a reminder that change is not only possible but inevitable. As we look to the future, let’s celebrate the progress we’ve made and continue to push for a world where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

A Tale of Resilience and Belief: Di Tran’s BELIEF Bourbon and Steven Yeng’s Skrewball Whiskey

Post date March 2, 2024

In the heart of Louisville, KY, a remarkable meeting took place at Liquor Barn between two extraordinary individuals, Di Tran, a Vietnamese immigrant and proud American, and Steven Yeng, a refugee from Cambodia. Both men, hailing from humble beginnings, have carved out successful paths in the world of entrepreneurship and spirits, showcasing the power of resilience, belief, and the American dream.

Di Tran, a man of many talents, is not only a nurse, licensed nail technician, and computer engineer but also a serial entrepreneur. With a journey that began in dirt-poor Vietnam, Di and his family sought refuge in the United States, where they worked tirelessly to build a better life. Di’s relentless drive and passion for education led him to establish multiple businesses, including the Louisville Beauty Academy and a chain of nail salons, before venturing into the world of bourbon with his exclusive BELIEF collectible bourbon.

On the other side, Steven Yeng’s story mirrors that of Di Tran’s. As a refugee from war-torn Cambodia, Steven grew up in a world far removed from the comforts many take for granted. His fascination with peanut butter, a novel flavor in his new homeland, inspired him to create a best-selling peanut butter whiskey cocktail at his bar and restaurant. Alongside his wife Brittany, a lawyer and chemist, Steven developed Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey, a spirit that celebrates diversity and the unconventional paths that lead to success.

The meeting between Di Tran and Steven Yeng was a moment of mutual admiration and recognition of their shared journey from adversity to prosperity. Di Tran, out of excitement and respect, offered Steven a bottle of his BELIEF bourbon, a symbol of their common belief in the power of hard work and determination. Their encounter was a testament to the fact that, regardless of one’s background, success is attainable through perseverance and a strong belief in one’s dreams.

As they exchanged stories and took pictures, Di Tran and Steven Yeng looked forward to future conversations, each wishing the other continued success. Their meeting serves as an inspiration to all, reminding us that the American dream is alive and well, fueled by the belief in oneself and the unwavering spirit to overcome obstacles.

In a world where stories of success often overshadow the struggles behind them, the tales of Di Tran and Steven Yeng stand as beacons of hope, reminding us that from the most challenging circumstances can emerge the most remarkable achievements. Here’s to the dreamers, the believers, and the trailblazers who show us that anything is possible when you hold onto your belief and strive for greatness.

Post author By Di Tran
Post date March 1, 2024

In response to the alarming surge in anti-Asian hate incidents, Asian Americans Advancing Justice organizations, in partnership with Microsoft, have launched the Asian Resource Hub, a groundbreaking digital platform aimed at empowering Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) communities.

The hub is a comprehensive resource that combines data from various sources, including surveys, hate trackers, law enforcement, and public records, to provide a detailed picture of the discrimination and hatred faced by AAPI communities. It also offers a searchable national directory of resources and culturally competent services available in multiple Asian languages, including Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese, with plans to expand to Hindi, Khmer, Tagalog, and Thai.

The initiative was introduced during a National Ethnic Media News Briefing on February 29, 2024, highlighting its importance in addressing the significant increase in anti-Asian hate, which rose by 339% between 2020 and 2021 alone. The hub aims to provide AAPI communities with the necessary tools to build resilience, feel empowered, and access essential resources tailored to their needs.

The Asian Resource Hub is not only a response to the immediate needs arising from the COVID-19 pandemic but also a long-term infrastructure to support AAPI communities in the face of continued discrimination. It is designed to be community-based and focused, offering powerful storytelling and data visualization to help users understand the Asian American experience in the context of hatred and discrimination.

By leveraging technology and data, the hub seeks to provide insights into the challenges faced by AAPI communities and offer solutions to fight back against hate. It is a testament to the collaboration between organizations like Asian Americans Advancing Justice, Microsoft, and the broader community to create a more inclusive and equitable society for all.

As the hub continues to evolve, it aims to become an evergreen site, constantly updated with new resources and languages to serve the diverse needs of AAPI communities. The goal is to make it a robust resource that can effectively address the gaps in support and understanding of anti-Asian hate and empower individuals and communities to stand against discrimination.

Embracing the Unseen: The Life Lessons of Di Tran

Post date February 15, 2024

At the age of 41, Di Tran stands as a testament to the power of perseverance, education, and entrepreneurial spirit. As the author of a series of books, owner of multiple small businesses, and holder of several academic degrees, Di’s journey is a compelling narrative of success against the odds. But beyond the accolades and achievements lies a deeper understanding of life, one that Di has graciously shared: “I learned that value a human being around you in the best way you know how and best possible at your condition in your own ways. I learned that behind every person there is more than what is shown that the eye can see and the ear can hear.”

This philosophy underscores Di’s approach to both personal and professional life. It’s a reminder that each individual we encounter carries a unique set of experiences and perspectives, often hidden beneath the surface. Di’s words encourage us to look beyond the obvious, to appreciate the depth and complexity of those around us.

In Di’s view, life is not a matter of right or wrong, but of fit or not fit. This perspective is particularly relevant in today’s diverse and rapidly changing world. It’s a call to respect differences, to understand that what works for one person may not work for another. “Fit or not fit, still respect often its require you to ignore, avoid and thanks God for that difference,” Di advises. This attitude of respect and acceptance is crucial in both personal relationships and professional environments.

Di’s journey and insights offer valuable lessons for all of us. By valuing those around us, looking beyond the surface, and embracing differences, we can create a more inclusive and understanding world. Di Tran’s story is a reminder that behind every achievement lies a deeper wisdom, one that can guide us in our own lives.

GLI and Di Tran: Pioneering Inclusive Growth in Louisville’s Business Landscape

Post author By Di Tran
Post date September 18, 2023

In the business corridors of Louisville, Greater Louisville Inc (GLI) stands as a beacon of innovation and inclusivity. This Chamber of Commerce, with its unwavering commitment to promoting an inclusive economic ecosystem, has caught the attention of many, including the dynamic Di Tran, president of the New American Business Association Inc.

GLI: Leading by Example

GLI has long been a pillar of support for businesses in Louisville and beyond. Their endeavors range from offering business support services to ensuring fairness in business growth, with a vision always leaning towards inclusivity and fairness. It’s this commitment that has positioned GLI as not just an organization but as a catalyst for change in Kentucky’s business community.

Di Tran: A Synergy of Vision and Passion

Di Tran’s association with GLI is more than just participatory; it’s symbiotic. As a Vietnamese immigrant who faced the challenges of establishing a business in a foreign land, Di recognizes the value of platforms like GLI. Their support for businesses, big and small, and their dedication to fostering growth is what drew Di closer to GLI’s mission.

With a personal story marked by resilience and ambition, Di, who now helms a series of successful Asian-owned businesses, sees GLI’s vision and his personal mission aligning seamlessly. He not only appreciates GLI’s contributions but also collaborates actively with its Education and Workforce Development Committee.

The 10% Advocacy: A Shared Dream

The mutual respect between GLI and Di Tran becomes even more evident in their shared objectives. Di’s advocacy, ensuring a 10% representation of immigrants, especially those grappling with English as a second language, echoes GLI’s broader inclusive goals. It’s not just about representing a minority; it’s about amplifying the voices that often remain unheard.

GLI, with its steadfast commitment to diversity, finds in Di Tran an ally who embodies the very essence of their vision. Together, they’re not just addressing an oversight but pioneering an inclusive economic transformation in Louisville.

Crafting a Collaborative Future

Elevating GLI’s mission through real-life examples like Di Tran’s journey offers a testament to their overarching goal: a business ecosystem that’s diverse, inclusive, and thriving. With GLI’s visionary approach and Di Tran’s fervent advocacy, Louisville is set on a trajectory of not just economic growth but inclusive prosperity.

Hiring: The Persistent Issue of Unconscious Bias and the Revolutionary Approach of MiaHire USA

Post author By Di Tran
Post date August 16, 2023

1. Definition and Overview: Unconscious bias, sometimes referred to as implicit bias, refers to the prejudices or stereotypes that influence our decisions in an unintentional manner. These biases stem from our upbringing, experiences, and cultural environment. They can manifest in various ways, including ageism, sexism, racism, and even favoring candidates from a particular educational background or alma mater.

In the hiring process, such biases can lead to decisions that are not based on the candidate’s skills or qualifications, but rather on these deep-seated, often unrecognized prejudices. As a result, organizations may unintentionally favor certain candidates over others, leading to a lack of diversity and inclusivity.

2. Examples and Real-World Implications: Consider two candidates: John, a middle-aged white male with a degree from a prestigious university, and Aisha, a young African-American woman who studied at a lesser-known college. If a hiring manager, unknowingly influenced by unconscious biases, gives more weight to John’s application simply because of his background, the organization loses the opportunity to benefit from a diverse range of experiences and perspectives that Aisha could bring.

Another real-world example is the tech industry, often criticized for its gender imbalance. In 2014, Google disclosed that 70% of its employees were men, and in leadership roles, that number was even higher at 79%. Such disparities don’t arise from a lack of qualified female candidates, but often from biases (both conscious and unconscious) that affect hiring decisions¹.

3. Statistics Highlighting the Problem:

A 2017 study published in the Journal of Labor Economics found that resumes with traditionally African-American names received 14% fewer callbacks than those with white names².
Research by the National Bureau of Economic Research demonstrated that women were 50% less likely to get hired for a job in the male-dominated tech industry³.
A 2020 study found that older applicants, especially older women, faced more age discrimination in hiring practices⁴.

4. Reasons Behind Unconscious Bias: Our brains are wired to make quick judgments, which can be traced back to our evolutionary need to assess threats. These judgments are formed by our personal experiences, societal norms, media portrayals, and more. In the context of hiring:

Cultural Stereotypes: Society often perpetuates stereotypes, such as the belief that certain ethnic groups are more hardworking or that one gender is better suited for specific roles.
Affinity Bias: This is the tendency to favor people who are like us or share similar backgrounds.
Confirmation Bias: Hiring managers may seek information that confirms their existing beliefs about a candidate, overlooking evidence to the contrary.

5. Solutions to Combat Bias in Hiring:

Awareness and Training: Recognizing and accepting that we all have biases is the first step. Organizations can provide unconscious bias training to help staff identify and counteract their prejudices.
Structured Interviews: By asking all candidates the same questions and assessing their answers using the same criteria, biases can be minimized.
Blind Recruitment: This process involves removing personal information (such as names, gender, age) from resumes and applications, allowing candidates to be evaluated purely on their skills and experiences.
Diversity and Inclusion Initiatives: Actively promoting and prioritizing diversity can help in reshaping organizational culture.

6. MiaHire USA: Leading the Change: MiaHire USA, a virtual interview platform, has recognized these challenges in the hiring process and has positioned itself as a market leader in combatting bias. By offering a platform where evaluations are transparent across all hiring levels, MiaHire USA is ensuring that candidates are judged solely on their qualifications, skills, and fit for the role.

Their virtual interview system minimizes potential biases by focusing on the content of the interview, rather than irrelevant factors. MiaHire’s commitment to eradicating bias has set a new standard for hiring practices, demonstrating that it’s possible to have a fair, equitable, and transparent recruitment process.

Conclusion: While unconscious bias in hiring has been a persistent issue, with innovations like MiaHire USA, we’re moving towards a future where hiring decisions are based purely on merit. As more organizations recognize and address their biases, we can hope for a more diverse and inclusive workplace that values all individuals, regardless of their background.

Di Tran and Hannah Drake: A Meeting of Minds and Passions at the Rotary Club of Louisville

Post author By Di Tran
Post date June 17, 2023

Louisville, Kentucky, known as the gateway to the South, is a city rich in history and culture. At a recent Rotary Club of Louisville meeting held at the Woman’s Club of Louisville on 1320 S 4th St, Louisville, KY 40208, two remarkable figures found a connection in their shared values and visions for a better world. Di Tran, the author of “Drop the ME and Focus on the OTHERS” and the soon-to-be-released “Drop the FEAR and focus on the FAITH”, was deeply impacted by the words of Hannah Drake, the renowned poet, author, and social advocate.

Hannah Drake, known for her powerful poetry and spoken word performances, is a figure who embodies pride in her heritage and has always been an advocate for social change. She took the stage with grace, and her opening words were poignant, “Space, my space, your space, our space.” These words resonated deeply with Di Tran, who himself is often heard in his speeches saying “USA is the number one country on earth”, indicating his love and responsibility towards his adopted homeland.

As Hannah emphasized the significance of history and the importance of knowing where one comes from, there was an echo in the room. For her, acknowledging your roots and origin is crucial, as it grounds you in your identity. She believes that this grounding provides a foundation upon which individuals can build and work towards contributing value to society and fulfilling their roles as citizens.

This sentiment struck a chord with Di Tran, whose writings often stress the importance of altruism and positive contribution to the community. His first book, “Drop the ME and Focus on the OTHERS,” encourages individuals to look beyond themselves and consider the impact they can have on those around them. His upcoming book, “Drop the FEAR and focus on the FAITH,” is expected to delve further into overcoming personal limitations and embracing a larger vision for the common good.

In an age where division often seems more prominent than unity, the encounter between Hannah Drake and Di Tran symbolized a kindling of shared beliefs. They are both advocates for not only embracing and being proud of one’s heritage but also using that foundation to build bridges and contribute positively to society.

As members of the Rotary Club, an organization with a longstanding history of service and community building, their message was particularly apt. The resonance between Hannah’s emphasis on space and history, and Di’s focus on contribution and faith, reminds us that there are universal values that can unite people from diverse backgrounds.

In closing, this meeting was a reminder that regardless of where we come from, it’s where we’re going that counts. Hannah Drake and Di Tran are two figures that exemplify this, and through their words and actions, they continue to inspire all of us to stand tall and contribute to the tapestry of this great nation.
