In this episode of The Honor Roll, host Jasmine Coleman sits down with Gina Avila and Roberto Sequeira to reflect on how Rise Up has evolved, the moments and lessons that have shaped its work, and the learners and alumni who give the program its purpose.

They share what they’ve learned from supporting participants, how the community has changed the way they think about success, and why Rise Up’s impact reaches well beyond training. They also look ahead to the values they hope will stay at the center of the program as it grows.

Eight very different journeys. One powerful thread connecting them.

After eight episodes of The Honor Roll, host Jasmine Coleman noticed a pattern: these guests aren't just building careers—they're creating possibilities for others.

The thread connecting them? Experiences you didn't think mattered actually prepared you. Setbacks become turning points. Community changes the direction. And eventually, your own progress makes something possible for someone coming behind you.

Featuring Jerry Wong, Jeff Egel, Nesrin Sevi, Kalisha Moore, Tosin Dada, Kabria Holmes, Muna Hassan-Sey, and DeVonn Tyson.

Episode 9: Inside The Honor Roll connects the dots across eight very different journeys in the ServiceNow ecosystem.

We're back with Episode 6 of The Honor Roll — and this conversation with Kabria Holmes is not one to miss.

Jasmine sits down with Kabria Holmes, ServiceNow Business Consultant, who came into the ecosystem through a completely nontraditional path — think classrooms, not coding bootcamps. Her story is a powerful reminder that curiosity is often the real starting point.

In this episode she opens up about overcoming self-doubt, moving from learning to real-world application, and why exploring something unfamiliar before feeling ready might be exactly the right move.
