The Fine Print (Dreamland Billionaires, #1)

by Lauren Asher

“This is Ani. She’s one of our youngest employees who happens to come from a family of Dreamland workers. I was partnered with her for a pilot mentorship program. She quickly schooled me in all things Dreamland, including our lack of diversity in the hiring process.” I don’t know why my eyes fill with tears, but they do. A single tear slips out, and Martha, like the cunning mastermind she is, slips me a tissue. I’m pretty sure she asked this question on purpose if only to see me cry. “I was confused because I know our procedures and how we strive for an ethnically diverse cast. But then Ani told me how there aren’t people like her—people with disabilities, both visible and invisible. So during my time I was supposed to be mentoring Ani, it turns out she mentored me. She taught me what it meant to live a life like hers, and I started doing my own research. So, to answer your question, Martha, I plan on expanding our hiring process to include more people with disabilities. I would also like to move forward with a full mentorship program to meet their demands. I want Dreamland to be the first of its kind.”
