Finding an accomplished mentor who is willing to share their secrets to success is a difficult task for anyone. However, for Black and Latino professionals, connecting with an expert who shares their cultural background can be even more challenging, particularly in fields like technology where people of color are underrepresented. Assemble, a digital platform and app, is helping to make those connections happen.

"The fact that there are such high level professionals on the platform so readily available for such a nominal fee is unheard of," said Omeze L. Nwankwo, an Assemble user who used the platform to connect with an expert in real estate fund formation.

"One of our first investors was Tiffany Haddish, and it was really a game changer," said Cortney Woodruff who co-founded Assemble with entertainment industry veteran and executive Cortez Bryant.

"You have the opportunity to book a 15 or 30 minute video call with them or you can simply submit a question, and you receive a short video response from the expert," said Woodruff.

In the design field, Assemble features experts like Sakiya Sandifer, who has worked with the likes of Kanye West (Ye) and Beyonce.

"Assemble is an amazing opportunity for me to do what I do for my clients, and bring it to the masses," said Sandifer. "Mentoring has been very fulfilling. Most successful people that I know have an innate desire to give information, but they don't want to be bombarded without it being received as a thing of value."

These Ritz Cracker Sandwiches Vanish Before the Party Starts

Ritz Party Sandwiches transform familiar buttery crackers into warm, savory appetizers that are exactly the right size for grabbing from a crowded table. Cheese and flavorful sandwich fillings sit between pairs of crackers, creating miniature bites with a crisp exterior and rich center. As they bake, the cheese melts, the filling warms, and the crackers become even more aromatic without losing the delicate texture that makes Ritz crackers so recognizable. Each small sandwich delivers salt, butter, cheese, and savory flavor in one or two bites, which explains why people rarely stop after taking only one. The recipe does not require elaborate pastry, specialty bread, or hours of preparation, yet the completed tray looks more thoughtful than simply opening a box of crackers. It is party food built around convenience without tasting like the cook took an obvious shortcut.

Mama’s Goulash Tastes Like the Dinner Everyone Remembers

Mama’s Goulash combines elbow macaroni, seasoned ground beef, tomatoes, onions, bell pepper, and cheese into a saucy one-pan dinner that feels immediately familiar. The macaroni cooks until tender and catches the tomato-rich sauce inside every curve, while the beef makes the meal hearty enough to satisfy a crowded table. Onion and pepper soften into the background, contributing sweetness and savory flavor without distracting from the combination people expect. Cheese melts through the pasta and gives the sauce a comforting richness that plain beef and tomatoes cannot provide. This is American family-style goulash rather than a formal European stew, and its appeal comes from affordability, generosity, and the ability to turn basic pantry ingredients into a pot that smells like somebody’s childhood kitchen.
