[1/5] Fatimoh Adeosun, 48, a parent of a student of My Dream Stead, a low-cost school that accepts recyclable wastes as payment, sorts plastic waste for submission, in Ajegunle, Lagos, Nigeria May 19, 2023. My Dream Stead school, in the sprawling, impoverished Ajegunle neighbourhood where the Adeosuns live, is one of 40 low-cost schools in Nigeria's commercial capital that accept recyclable waste as payment. Tuition fees at My Dream Stead stand at $130 per year and the school is expanding into a second apartment block to accommodate its 120 pupils. Some mornings, Fatimoh and Fawas walk to the school together with bulging sacks of rubbish over their shoulders. The waste is weighed on school premises and its sales value added to Fawas' account.

They also wanted a better tipping option. “One of the first public demands that we made last fall, when our campaign launched, was for credit card tipping,” the Starbucks Workers United said in a statement to CNN. The coffee chain has for years allowed customers to tip when they pay using their Starbucks card in the Starbucks app, or to leave a cash tip. But Starbucks (SBUX) only started rolling out the credit and debit card tipping system, which is now available nationally, in September. “Even though union-representated workers do not have credit card tipping at the moment, it still feels like a union victory,” she said.

Davis Wright Tremaine is training women founders and creating networking opportunities. The law firm's programs "sought to provide us with a holistic overview of the social impacts of careers in tech, and the practical considerations that were important for success," she said. The law firm's programs linked founders to investors, helping to forge valuable connections for when her company strategizes for growth, Hosey said. The initiative was launched by Lynn Loacker, a partner at the firm and a longtime mergers-and-acquisitions attorney who now works full time on the firm's programs for women entrepreneurs. Helen Adeosun, the CEO of the home-care-training platform CareAcademy, participated in the firm's Women in Entrepreneurship Bootcamp and closed a $9.5 million series A round in 2020.
