Ms. Hughes does not play games and I appreciate everything she shared about holding these corporations responsible. These was an insightful interview and if Ms. Hughes is afraid, furloughing employees, issuing 20%-30% payouts, we need to take notice and see how and what we need to do to take advantage of these opportunities. For me, it’s leveraging minority and woman-owned certifications and the opportunities that come along with them.
