Keynote – Aniyia Williams
summary
Presents five rules for building the future: overthrow the status quo with hard numbers — income inequality highest in 50 years, life expectancy falling, 250,000 pandemic deaths so far, 4 in 10 Americans food insecure, $525B climate losses in five years — and reshape markets so basic needs (healthcare, water, living wage, education, vote) are guaranteed. Advocates designing for human nature, community feedback loops, accountability systems, and starting locally; lists organizations built (Black & Brown Founders, Zebras Unite) and links to download the deck at ania.com/rubyconf.
