How to use upwardly in a sentence?

1. Jay Caspian Kang:

   The reason why [ upwardly mobile Asian American ] people express those things is because... they feel like they're not being treated as if they were White, and they want to feel some form of solidarity with other groups who might be feeling this way, but the issue is that when you express such shallow, privileged politics and concerns, it's very difficult to build those pathways to solidarity.

2. Katrina Walsemann:

   If student loans provide a vehicle for people who are coming from disadvantaged families to get a college degree, these student loans would help them become upwardly mobile and that might be important for their mental health.
