Training for the Olympics isn’t easy, and being a mother and training for the Olympics is even harder. Based in Antioquia, Colombia, Kellys Arias has been athletic her whole life. She set her eyes on becoming an Olympic athlete at a young age, and since then, has never stopped dreaming and working towards that goal. Now, as a mother, her motivation has only increased. With every obstacle she faces, Kellys is inspired to keep pushing forward to show her daughter you can achieve anything you set your mind to.
Kellys believes we’re all mind, heart and body – and for her, technology is at the center of creating a balance between the three. She uses her phone to analyze her workouts (mind), to stay closer to her daughter (heart) and to keep up with her training (body). Her phone serves as both a communication tool and personal trainer – inspiring her to be a better version of herself everyday.
For Kellys, being both a mom and athlete has taught her the power of endurance and how it can empower her daughter to pursue her own dream.

A Smarter, More Inclusive Future for All
October 27, 2021
As a Lenovo company, Motorola has a vision to provide smarter technology that builds a smarter, more inclusive future for our colleagues and communities. During Global Diversity Awareness Month, we re excited to announce new goals that build on the accomplishments of 2020 and seek to increase diversity in our leadership while fostering more inclusion in our workplace and products.
In 2020, Lenovo s first Chief Diversity Officer Yolanda Conyers set our first generation of workforce diversity goals in place. After achieving 21% representation of women executives and 29% representation of U.S. underrepresented racial and ethnic groups in our executive ranks, we have taken 2021 to reassess, align with our Diversity & Inclusion board of executives, and analyze our progress toward a more inclusive future.
Lenovo will maintain its focus on diversity in executive ranks, with goals to grow female executive representation to 27% and executives from U.S historically underrepresented ethnic and racial groups to 35% by 2025. In addition to our executive representation goals, we are implementing programs to strengthen our internal pipeline of diverse talent at early and mid-career levels. We re also expanding our understanding of disabilities in our workforce through our disability inclusion initiative, which seeks to measure, understand, and better accommodate the needs of our employees who experience both visible and invisible disabilities. Initially launched during Global Accessibility Awareness Month in the U.S., we plan to expand this initiative to 8 markets around the world by 2025.
Finally, we know that as a technology company, we have a responsibility to not just provide inclusive and equitable opportunities in our workforce, but to ensure the technology we make is truly for all. Lenovo formed the Product Diversity Office in 2019 to ensure that our products met the needs of people from all backgrounds and abilities. We re focused on taking the office s function and processes to scale so that by 2025, 75% of our products will be vetted for inclusion by design experts.
As a global company with employees in more than 60 countries, Lenovo is reliant on the principles of diversity and inclusion. Our diverse, global workforce is an incredible strength for our business, and it also helps us understand the unique needs and contexts of communities around the world. Through the work of Lenovo Foundation, we share our strengths of diversity and innovation with communities around the world by providing contributions of funds, products, and employee time and talent to increase access to technology and education.
We are honored to harness the passion of our employees to enable digital and technology access for youth and transform the lives of adults as they upskill for the 21st century. We re working to impact 15 million lives by 2025 through our programs and partnerships that provide access to technology and education for the next generation. However, we re aware that the connectivity gap exists now, and has continued to widen since the onset of the pandemic. While we work to ensure that the next generation of youth is not left out of technology s innovation, we re focused on transforming one million lives by providing opportunities that help adults learn new skills and earn better opportunities in today s workforce.
Throughout global diversity awareness month, we ll be sharing other stories of innovation and inclusion as we continue our efforts to provide a more inclusive future not just for our own workforce, but for all.

The Power of Strength, Meet Jamie Gane
October 20, 2021
Jamie Gane is a disabled professional athlete from Hampshire, United Kingdom. Currently ranked number two in the world for Judo within his category and a professional obstacle course racer, Jamie has never let the challenges he’s faced get in the way of his dreams – including a below-knee amputation.
Although Jamie now has several accolades under his belt, when his condition first started, he had little information and resources to rely on. That’s why once Jamie’s story gained attention on social media, he decided to create his own blog where he could share the vital information he did not have access to following his own surgery. Jamie hopes to be an inspiration to other young people trying to overcome similar challenges and believes his blog can serve as a resource for them.
For Jamie, technology has played a huge role in his life. It’s helped him help others and also helped him with his own journey and recognizing his strength both physically and emotionally.

The Power of Growth, meet Mitchell McCulloch
October 6, 2021
Mitchell McCulloch is a self taught organic grower from England. Last year, he closed his catering business and moved from east London to the countryside to pursue his passion for the natural world, ecology and horticulture – specifically involving plants that can feed and heal us. Being a chef, Mitchell knew a lot about food, but not a lot about growing it. After some practice and nearly seven billion YouTube views later, he’s grown his kitchen garden into an impressive all organic permaculture.
Mitchell uses a lot of tools to grow his food sustainably, but most important to him has been his mobile phone. It helped him learn how to start his organic garden from zero, and create more contacts in the industry. He’s even started teaching others all about growing through his own radio show.
Mitchell has been around food his whole career, but the power of growing it himself has given him a new purpose.
