A Christmas meditation on how words are not just symbols but realities; how truth, when embodied, has the power to transform life itself.
Online Resume Submissions - The Black Hole
In this incisive critique, Giselle Saati exposes the human cost of algorithm-driven hiring. Submitting resumes online can feel like tossing them into a void—where keyword filters and automated systems undermine diversity, erode dignity, and reward conformity over true capability.

Her analysis strikes a balance, emphasizing that real sustainability in the diamond industry relies on clarity, context, and accountability—not marketing narratives.
