Atlanta rapper Yung Mazi has been shot and killed on the night of Sunday, August 6 in Atlanta’s Kirkwood community.

According to reports from 11 Alive News:, Atlanta Police responded to the shooting near the intersection of Oakview Road and Hosea L. Williams Drive around 8:55 PM. Upon arriving, authorities found that Mazi, born Jibril Abdur-Rahman, had sustained multiple gunshot wounds.

Police said it appears that Abdur-Rahman was targeted as he was shot multiple times in front of a pizza business called Urban Pie. Police said they responded to the incident when they heard gunshots from outside Zone 6 headquarters, which is located at 2025 Hosea L. Williams Drive.

via 11 Alive News:

Police have not released the name of the suspect. Social media was ablaze with unconfirmed reports and speculation that the victim was Yung Mazi, whose real name is Jibril A.

Yung Mazi was shot at a Buckhead Waffle House in the early morning hours of Dec. 27, 2016. He was shot three times during that particular incident and had even disclosed to police that he was shot 10 times prior to this shooting.

Atlanta police said they responded to a report of 10 to 25 gunshots. According to police, the suspect has dreadlocks and was wearing them pulled back in a bun. Furthermore, he was wearing a white T-shirt with dark jeans at the time of the deadly shooting.

This was not the first time that Mazi was a target of a shooting, as he claimed to have been shot 12 times before. According to Yung Mazi’s official website, Mazi was shot “five times—one bullet hitting him in the head and leaving him temporarily brain damaged, almost ending his life.” As a result of that shooting, Mazi said he had to learn how to “read, write, and speak all over again.”

via Yung Mazi website:

“Mazi, who was raised a devout Muslim, had the misfortune of learning the hard way…Twice. ‘I just recently found out you’re not going to be able to balance the music and the streets. It’s either one or the other.’”

Saul Alvarez, known as ‘Canelo,’ is a Mexican professional boxer.

He is a three-time world champion in two weight classes, having held the Ring magazine middleweight title since 2015. Previously he had two reigns as light middleweight world champion, holding the WBA (Unified), WBC, and Ring titles between 2011 and 2013, and the WBO title from 2016 to 2017. At middleweight, he also held the WBC and lineal titles between 2015 and 2017.

Fun fact: The nickname ‘Canelo’ which means cinnamon in Spanish was given to him in reference to his red hair.

Stay tuned for an exciting bout in September 2017. On the 16th, GGG (Gennady Golovkin) will fight against Canelo Alvarez in Las Vegas.


Canelo Alvarez’s Net Worth 2017: $4.5 Million

Canelo Alvarez’s net worth is a huge amount: $4.5 million. With his successful career and exciting battle in Las Vegas in September, he is expected to go upwards from here. Interesting enough, although Alvarez is a high-profile boxer, his opponent, GGG is worth $6 million. This does not, however, predict who will win the bout. Stay tuned to the fight, which will be aired on September 16th, 2017.


2005-2010

Alvarez began his professional career at the young age of 15. Álvarez’ third official bout of his career was a win over future IBF Lightweight Champion, Miguel Vázquez on January 20, 2006, in his home town of Guadalajara, Jalisco. On June 28, 2008, Álvarez defeated Miguel Vázquez again in a rematch. He also made world history on that fight card when he and all of his six brothers fought on the same night, Canelo being the youngest. The only downside was that three of them failed to win their pro debuts.

On March 6, 2010, he got a crushing third-round knockout over Brian Camechis in Tuxtla Gutiérrez, Chiapas. Álvarez defeated Jose Miguel Cotto on May 1, 2010, on the Floyd Mayweather vs. Shane Mosley undercard in the MGM Grand Garden Arena on HBO PPV to retain his NABF Welterweight title.


2011-2015

On March 5, 2011, Álvarez defeated EBU Welterweight Champion Matthew Hatton by unanimous decision, for the vacant WBC Light Middleweight belt.

On 17 September 2011, Álvarez successfully defended his title with a TKO in Round 6 over The Contender competitor Alfonso Gomez at the Staples Center, Los Angeles, winning by technical knockout victory in the sixth round.

Álvarez fought Alfredo Angulo on March 8, 2014. Álvarez came out strong, throwing combinations. In a fairly lopsided beating, Álvarez scored a tenth round stoppage over Angulo punctuated by a lead left uppercut.

On May 9, 2015, Álvarez defeated James Kirkland in a non-title super welterweight bout at Minute Maid Park in Houston, Texas via third-round knockout.

On November 21, 2015, Álvarez won the WBC, lineal and The Ring middleweight titles with a unanimous decision over Miguel Cotto in front of a sold-out crowd of 11,274 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas. The fight took place at a catchweight of 155 lbs. Although Cotto gave a tremendous effort, moving nicely throughout the fight, the judges clearly went for Álvarez’s brute strength, with surprisingly wide scores of 119-109, 118-110 and 117-111. ESPN.com had the fight much closer, but still scored it in favor of Álvarez, 115-113.


2016-Present

In 2016, in front of a record breaking crowd of 51,240, Álvarez regained a world title at light-middleweight following a devastating left hook to the body in round 9. Smith was also knocked down once in round 7 and once in round 8, in a fight where Álvarez was in control from the opening bell. Álvarez landed 157 punches from 422 thrown with a connect rate of 37%, compared to Smith landing 115 from 403 thrown, a connect rate of 29%. The fight drew an estimate of 300,000 PPV buys.

On September 16, 2017, Alvarez will fight GGG in Las Vegas. This is a high profile fight so make sure to find out more details in the upcoming weeks!

Gennady Golovkin is a Kazakhstani professional boxer who currently holds a sh** load of titles: WBA (Super), WBC, IBF, and IBO middleweight championships. As of May of 2017, BoxRec and Transnational Boxing Rankings Board ranked him the world’s best middleweight.

Golovkin is known for his powerful and precise punching, balance, and methodical movement. With a streak of 23 knockouts that spanned from 22 November 2008 to 18 March 2017, he holds the highest knockout percentage – 89.8% – in middleweight championship history.

On September 16, 2017, there will be an exclusive bout between Golovkin and Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez! This is a fight you don’t want to miss!


Gennady Golovkin’s Net Worth 2017: $6 Million

Golovkin’s net worth is an astonishing amount. He is worth $6 million as of this year. No wonder he is worth this much; think about it, he won four major middleweight championships. Also, in his amateur career, Golovkin won a gold medal in the middleweight division at the 2003 World Championships. He went on to represent Kazakhstan at the 2004 Summer Olympics, winning a middleweight silver medal. That is definitely the reason why he is worth more than a million.


2006-2009

Instagram Photo

2006 of May sparked the beginning of his professional career. After moving up the ranks from the amateur stage, Golovkin signed a professional deal with the Universum Box-Promotion (UBP) and made his professional debut in May 2006. By the end of 2008 Golovkin’s record stood at 14–0 (11 KO).

Golovkin was determined to become a worldwide name, dreaming of following in the Klitschko brothers’ footsteps by fighting in Madison Square Garden and Staples Center. He signed with K2 and went into training in Big Bear, California, with Abel Sanchez, the veteran trainer behind Hall of Famer Terry Norris and many other top talents.

In July 2009 Golovkin defeated John Anderson Carvalho to win the vacant WBO Inter-Continental Middleweight title.


2010-2014

Instagram Photo

In August 2010 he beat Milton Nunez to win the Interim WBA Middleweight title. In December 2011 he defeated Lajuan Simon to win the vacant IBO Middleweight title.

It was first reported on January 31, 2013 that a deal was close for Golovkin to defend his world titles against former WBA interim super welterweight champion Nobuhiro Ishida (24–8–2, 9 KO) in Monte Carlo on March 30. Ishida had lost his last two fights, but had never been stopped in his 13 year career. Golovkin became the first to knock out Ishida, in what was said to be a ‘stay busy fight’, finishing him in the third round with a vicious overhand right. The referee did not begin a count and immediately waved an end to the bout.

On June 3, 2014, after ten successful title defenses, the World Boxing Association officially elevated Golovkin from Middleweight champion to (Super) champion. Golovkin was also granted a special permission to defend his title against Daniel Geale.


2015-Present

Instagram Photo

His latest fight was a win over Willie Monroe, Jr. in May 2015 to bring his professional record to an undefeated 33 – 0 with 30 knockouts. In addition to being undefeated, he has never been knocked down or knocked out in almost 400 fights.

On May 18, 2016, Álvarez vacated the WBC middleweight title, which resulted in Golovkin being immediately awarded the title by the WBC who officially recognized him as their middleweight champion.

Immediately after the Chavez fight on May 6, Canelo Álvarez announced that he would next fight Golovkin on the weekend of September 16, 2017 at a location to be determined. So far Golovkin’s professional boxing record is 37 wins and 0 losses.

 

British Model Chloe Ayling Who Was Kidnapped & Sold On The Dark Web Allegedly Knew Her Captor

Chloe Ayling, a 20-year-old British model, was kidnapped, drugged, stuffed into a suitcase and held captive for six days. Furthermore, Ayling was auctioned on the dark web as a sex slave.

According to the Daily Mail, Ayling previously met her kidnapper, Polish man Lukasz Herba, during a business trip to Paris earlier in 2017. Herba, 30, paid Ayling’s agent cash to fly her out to Milan for a fake photo shoot. At the fake photo shoot, she was injected with horse-tranquilizer ketamine, forced into a suitcase and chained to furniture for six days.

When Ayling was finally released on July 15, Herba accompanied her to Milan’s British consulate after claiming the Black Death white slavery gang kidnapped her by mistake.

Instagram Photo

via Daily Mail:

A close friend of Miss Ayling told MailOnline: ‘I can’t say too much because Chloe is being debriefed by British police and the Foreign Office, but she did know the man who kidnapped her.

“She met him in April on a photo shoot she had been on in Paris. He then called her agency and booked her for the photo shoot in Milan. He specifically asked for her. He seemed genuine. He sent previous examples of his work and paid in advance. During the kidnapping Chloe lost her shoes. He took her to buy some new ones during her ordeal.”

Miss Ayling is said to have met Herba after she was caught up in a terrorist shooting of a policeman in Paris in April.

The young British model told how she was walking along the Champs-Elysee when the incident unfolded. She watched as police and ambulances rushed to the scene before she retreated to her hotel, her agent Phil Green said at the time. Miss Ayling’s mysterious shopping trip, her previous encounter with her abductor Herba and other strange details of the case led the Italian media to raise questions about the Briton’s testimony.

Illegal Marijuana Farms Appear To Be Spreading Toxic Waste Throughout California

I’ve often heard the saying from middle-aged dudes, “I don’t smoke weed because there’s way too much chemicals in it, nowadays.” Then they’d puff a cigarette and finish their energy drink. Often, I’d laugh off their statements as another ironic baseless opinions from an older adult. But if we take a trip to California, and observe some of the practices of illegal marijuana farms, the millennial in me might just sing a different tune about unregulated ganja.

California has recently been responsible for ’90 percent of illegal U.S. marijuana,’ according to a new report from Reuters. The state has also shown a rapid increase in the usage of nationally restricted fertilizers such as carbofuran and zinc phosphide, according to ecologists.

“Increasingly, dangerous, unregistered pesticides are being encountered by law enforcement officers who investigate illegal marijuana grows,” said Special Agent-in-Charge of the Environmental Protection Agency criminal enforcement program, Jay M. Green. “Through their indiscriminate application, these unregistered pesticides pollute our lands and waters, create a significant safety risk to humans and animals, and present a mounting cleanup expense for taxpayers.”

The state of California has allegedly used ’41 times more solid fertilizers and 80 times more liquid pesticides’ than the amount that the state previously reported in 2013. It appears as if the state has been under-reporting the amount of fertilizers and pesticides released into the environment. So, it appears that full blame shouldn’t be reserved for illicit pot growers. The state, itself, appears to be writing off pollutants like someone cheating on their golf score.Illegal California Marijuana Farms: Full Story & Must-See Details

These chemicals, that have been under-reported by California, carry deadly consequences. They can led to health defects in both human and animals. And if you consume enough of these chemicals, you can die.

The Environmental Agency said in their report, that “a single swallow can be fatal to a small child, and carbofuran to be ‘highly toxic to vertebrates and birds. In granular form, a single grain will kill a bird; for humans, one quarter of a teaspoon is a sufficient dose to be fatal.'”

In 2011, this agency announced that they would effectively prohibit the legal use of an inorganic chemical compound known as zinc phosphide.

Research from Reuters revealed that federal land in California currently has “731,000 pounds of solid fertilizer, 491,000 ounces of concentrated liquid fertilizer and 200,000 ounces of toxic pesticides.”

Marijuana officially became legalized for recreational use in California as a result of the November 2016 election. California citizens took part in a direct-democracy initiative, where 57 percent of voters chose “yes” on Proposition 64 compared to 43 percent who voted “no” on the Adult Use Of Marijuana Act (Prop. 64).

Supervisor of Trinity County Keith Groves wishes that the illegal marijuana growers would just get state licenses. According to Groves, there are roughly 4,000 illegal growers in the state. Groves said, “I’ll be happy if we can get 500 of them to become licensed.”Illegal California Marijuana Farms: Full Story & Must-See Details

Mia Khalifa is one of the hottest “adult entertainment” actresses on the planet. But beauty might not cut it when you’re insulting a dude’s favorite football team. Regardless of football feelings, Mia is a legend in the porn business, as she’s amassed a ton of viewers online in extremely quick fashion. Within two months of her career, she became the top searched performer in all of Pornhub.

In October 2014, Mia jumped into porn with her first sex tape. And by December, she had already pulled it over 1.5 million views. She became famous, very quickly, and famous athletes starting popping up in her DMs left and right.

Despite her ever-growing fame, Mia left the industry after only three months. She said in an interview with The Washington Post, “I guess it was my rebellious phase. It wasn’t really for me. I kind of smartened up and tried to distance myself from that.”

And nowadays, you can find her hating on Cowboys fans. Sorry about that, Dallas. Though I’m sure many of you will forgive her when you peep these ultra-sexy GIFs in the gallery below…

On tonight’s edition of Monday Night Raw, “The Big Dog” Roman Reigns will face off against “The Monster Among Men” Braun Strowman in a main event Last Man Standing match. Will Strowman finish off Roman before the Fatal 4-Way at SummerSlam?

Bayley became the new #1 contender for the WWE Raw Women’s Championship after defeating “The Boss” Sasha Banks two weeks ago. But the hug-able Bayley may have tweaked her shoulder during an encounter with Nia Jax, which might just give The Boss an opportunity to take her spot once again. Will Bayley call off the match against Bliss or will she fight through the pain and make it to the Barclays Center for SummerSlam?

Last week, the WWE Raw Tag Team Champions Sheamus & Cesaro sent a message that echoed all throughout the Raw locker-room. The champs brutally attacked and decimated former WWE Champions. They annihilated “The Architect” Seth Rollins and “The Lunatic Fringe” Dean Ambrose in the middle of the ring. How will the former Shield brethren return the favor tonight?

Here’s The Smokin’ Hot Instagram Model Who Appeared To Be Amir Khan’s Rebound Chick This Weekend

Late last week, former 2-time boxing world champion Amir Khan left his gorgeous wife after he accused her of sleeping with fellow boxer Anthony Joshua. Now, Khan appears to be getting a measure of revenge by partying it up with a new smokin’ hot model by his side in Dubai. Over the weekend, Khan recorded a video of himself living it up with a certified smoke show. He claims that they’re just friends partying and having a good time together. But we’ll never know what happens when the camera stops rolling…

Gulbahor Becknazar is the Instagram model, who partied with Amir Khan over the weekend. She’s originally from Massachusetts, but now lives in the Middle East. Becknazar is a beauty therapist, YouTuber and Instagrammer. Her YouTube account says, “I love acting, and I can’t wait to get my first Oscar.”

Here’s a video of Khan getting up close and personal with the super sexy Gulbahor Becknazar…

Just friends, huh? Sounds suspect…

Khan calls Becknazar “his girl,” but that can just be a figure of speech. But let’s put the pieces together, shall we? Last week, Khan felt totally betrayed and cucked out his hot wife. What better way to get back are your cheating spouse than by getting down with an even hotter model? If Khan and Becknazar didn’t get down in the bedroom, in the very least he wanted his wife and the world to see him having fun with an attractive female only days after the break-up. But that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have his regrets…

Amir later went on Snapchat to apologize for his sexy night out with an ultra-hot model. Like why, dude? He was just showing the world and his wife that he’s not a cuck to be f*cked with. Then he flip-flopped and said he was sorry for a night on the town with a hottie. But then again…the man has a family. Faryal Makhdoom is still technically his wife and the mother of his child. So, it’s definitely understandable to have mixed feelings. I guess not even the lovely Gulbahor Becknazar can cure the blues…

I just want to apologise for my behaviour yesterday. I know it’s something that you guys don’t want to see.
‘But it was it’s what my ex-wife’s drawn me to do. Faryal’s drawn me. Her mum’s drawn me. They’ve taken my daughter away from me. She’s in New York. Faryal’s threatening me for me to never see my daughter again.’
‘I don’t want to live like this. I only went out yesterday because ‘m so stressed out with all that drama that’s gone on and I wanted to let myself go.
‘I went out with a group of friends. I don’t drink alcohol. Just don’t use it against me. I did nothing wrong yesterday. I was just so frustrated with everything that’s gone o

Alright. Alright. Don’t feel so bad, Amir. You’re going through tough times. You’ve been hurt. And not many people will cast shade on you for retreating to the realm of super-beautiful women.

There’s a reason why over 25k follow Gulbahor Becknazar on Instagram…

Anna Faris is officially single again after separating from husband Chris Pratt on Sunday. This gives hope to all the poor, thirsty slubs lumbering around on the internet, looking to slide up in Anna Faris’ DMs.

All jokes aside, Faris and Pratt had a very serious relationship. They were together for eight years, and they still have a son to raise. Maybe they’ll get back together. If not, there are definitely plenty of potential suitors for both actors.

By the way, she still looks amazing at 40-years-old. Faris began her acting career as a teenager, and has blossomed into a talent and beautiful actress. Most recently, Faris made a cameo as a parody-version of herself in The Emoji Movie.

Who could forget Farris’ funny/awkward moments in the Scary Movie film series? She’s hilarious and gorgeous. And her GIFs are out of this world…

John Young and Tyler Minney, two former members of the University of Washington rowing team, have been charged after they allegedly filmed themselves having sex with an intoxicated freshman.

John Young, 19, of Brewster, New York, and Tyler Minney, also 19, of Folsom, California, have been charged on with a count of disclosing intimate objects. Furthermore, Minney faces a separate charge for sharing pictures of him having sex with another drunken student. Both students have since been kicked off the rowing team.

According to court documents, the first unidentified victim came forward in April after she learned that Minney and Young had been sharing a video of them having sex with her.

via Seattle Times:

King County prosecutors allege in charging papers the two rowers had sex with a then-18-year-old student in December at McMahon Hall, a university dormitory, where they “filmed their sexual encounter without (the victim’s) knowledge or consent and distributed it to fellow classmates over the course of the next few months.”

Only months later did the victim learn from friends about the incident, the records say. She reported it to UW’s Title IX office, which in turn contacted university police. Prosecutors also contend Minney secretly took photographs as he had sex last October with a 19-year-old student who was drunk at the time. Minney allegedly shared the pictures with classmates over the next several months, prosecutors say.

The woman “had little to no memory of the … sex and did not learn it had been photographed until a friend showed her the picture,” according to the charging records.

A spokesman for the University of Washington’s athletic department gave a statement to The Seattle Times, saying:

“We are aware of charges filed against two former members of our men’s rowing program. Those individuals were immediately suspended from the team when we first learned of the investigation, and are now no longer part of the program.”

According to Dan Donohoe, a spokesman for the King County prosecutor’s office, Minney’s bail was set at $30,000 and Young’s was set at $20,00. Their arraignment hearing is set for August 17. The court has ordered both men to have no contact with the women.

Dr. Richard Watson, a professor at the University of Georgia professor, has enacted what he calls “stress reduction policy.” The purpose of Watson’s policy is to allow students to “choose their own grades in hopes of soothing those who feel unduly stressed by their earned ones. ”

Professor Watson, who is teaching two business courses in the fall, has introduced the policy because he believes that the emotional reactions to the stressful situations of college scan have consequences for all involved.

According to Watson’s syllabi, students can “email the instructor indicating what grade the student think is appropriate.”

Campus Reform

via Campus Reform:

If students feel “unduly stressed by a grade for any assessable material or the overall course,” they can “email the instructor indicating what grade [they] think is appropriate, and it will be so changed” with “no explanation” being required.

“If in a group meeting, you feel stressed by your group’s dynamics, you should leave the meeting immediately and need offer no explanation to the group members,” the policy adds, saying such students can “discontinue all further group work” with their remaining grade being “based totally on non-group work.”

Similarly, when it comes to “tests and exams” for Watson’s “Data Management” and “Energy Informatics” courses, all will be “open book and open notes” and “designed to assess low level mastery of the course material.”

Finally, for in-class presentations, Watson will allow “only positive comments” to be made, while “comments designed to improve future presentations will be communicated by email.

Watson is a Regents Professor at the University of Georgia. A Regents Professor is a title bestowed by the Board of Regents on “distinguished” faculty.

Here Is What’s Going To Happen To Jaime Lannister

HBO

In the final frame of this weekend’s explosive Game Of Thrones, we see Jaime Lannister rapidly sinking to the bottom of a curiously deep river (stream? creek? what kind of body of water was that?)

But if you’ve been watching Thrones all this time then you know the eventual fate of a character as crucial as Jaime is going to be far more explicit than a fleeting image of him peacefully drowning. No, if Jaime’s going to die, Cersei is going to beat him to death with his own golden hand, or he’s going get incinerated by a dragon, or something equally gruesome. So now that we know he survives, the question is what now becomes of the rest of the Kingslayer’s life.

Despite his general shortcomings (boom roasted) as a military general, Daenerys still remains loyal to both Tyrion and his opinion. Hoping she hasn’t gone full Mad Queen, you’d like to imagine that she isn’t going to torch the brother of her own right-hand man. But that doesn’t mean she’s going to let him off the hook, either.

Ultimately, I believe Daenerys is going to give Jaime an ultimatum. Clearly not trying to be a “ruler of the ashes”, Dany wants to end this war as soon as possible and is going to attempt to use Jaime to bring an end to said war. The ultimatum is going to be as follows: march back to King’s Landing as an inside man and murder Cersei for me … or I’ll show up with my dragons and melt all of your faces off.

Jaime, who famously stabbed the Mad King in the back to avoid the melting of people’s faces, will realize that killing his sister (and lover) and becoming the Queen Slayer is the only way he’s going to be able to bring peace to the realm.

As I’ve long said, Jaime is the most complex person in a show known for its layered characters. Think about it, Game Of Thrones has successfully turned an obnoxiously rich and handsome sister-fucker who pushed a child out a window into one of the masses’ favorite remaining characters. With that logic, it’s only fitting that his story arc would meet a similarly complex end: with the murder of his sister-lover based on the order of the daughter of the Mad King he once slayed.

Google Engineer Fired For Writing Sexist Memo Suggesting Women Were Less Likely To Succeed

James Damore, a former software engineer at Google, was fired on Monday, August 7, for violating the company’s code of conduct. Google fired Damore after he authored internal memo that claimed women were “biologically less likely to succeed at the company.”

Google CEO Sundar Pichai released a statement on Damore’s dismissal, saying that portions of the memo violated Google’s code of conduct. Furthermore, he said that the memo “crossed the line by advancing harmful gender stereotypes in our workplace.'”

Damore, who began working at Google in 2013, wrote a controversial 10-page document which was first published by technology website Motherboard on Saturday. Danmore, a 2013 Harvard graduate, stated that women could not get ahead at Google due to “biological differences.”

via Bloomberg:

Damore’s 10-page memorandum accused Google of silencing conservative political opinions and argued that biological differences play a role in the shortage of women in tech and leadership positions. It circulated widely inside the company and became public over the weekend, causing a furor that amplified the pressure on Google executives to take a more definitive stand.

After the controversy swelled, Danielle Brown, Google’s new vice president for diversity, integrity and governance, sent a statement to staff condemning Damore’s views and reaffirmed the company’s stance on diversity. In internal discussion boards, multiple employees said they supported firing the author, and some said they would not choose to work with him, according to postings viewed by Bloomberg News.

“We are unequivocal in our belief that diversity and inclusion are critical to our success as a company,” Brown said in the statement. “We’ll continue to stand for that and be committed to it for the long haul.”

In his document, Damore detailed his belief that Google is “blind to” the differences between men and women. Furthermore, Damore said that Google staff are trained to believe that “a lack of diversity is down to discrimination when sometimes there are other factors to consider.”

Danielle Brown, Google’s new head of diversity, released a full statement on the issue:

Googlers,

I’m Danielle, Google’s brand new VP of Diversity, Integrity & Governance. I started just a couple of weeks ago, and I had hoped to take another week or so to get the lay of the land before introducing myself to you all. But given the heated debate we’ve seen over the past few days, I feel compelled to say a few words.

Many of you have read an internal document shared by someone in our engineering organization, expressing views on the natural abilities and characteristics of different genders, as well as whether one can speak freely of these things at Google. And like many of you, I found that it advanced incorrect assumptions about gender. I’m not going to link to it here as it’s not a viewpoint that I or this company endorses, promotes or encourages.

Diversity and inclusion are a fundamental part of our values and the culture we continue to cultivate. We are unequivocal in our belief that diversity and inclusion are critical to our success as a company, and we’ll continue to stand for that and be committed to it for the long haul. As Ari Balogh said in his internal G+ post, ‘Building an open, inclusive environment is core to who we are, and the right thing to do. ‘Nuff said.’

Google has taken a strong stand on this issue, by releasing its demographic data and creating a company wide OKR on diversity and inclusion. Strong stands elicit strong reactions. Changing a culture is hard, and it’s often uncomfortable. But I firmly believe Google is doing the right thing, and that’s why I took this job.

Part of building an open, inclusive environment means fostering a culture in which those with alternative views, including different political views, feel safe sharing their opinions. But that discourse needs to work alongside the principles of equal employment found in our Code of Conduct, policies, and anti-discrimination laws.

I’ve been in the industry for a long time, and I can tell you that I’ve never worked at a company that has so many platforms for employees to express themselves — TGIF, Memegen, internal G+, thousands of discussion groups. I know this conversation doesn’t end with my email today. I look forward to continuing to hear your thoughts as I settle in and meet with Googlers across the company.

Thanks,

Danielle

In an email to Bloomberg, Damore said that he had been fired for “perpetuating gender stereotypes” and that he’s “currently exploring all possible legal remedies.”
