About this session

As a Black woman in the Technology community, I know firsthand just how much we're lacking when it comes to racial diversity. If we're failing to achieve true equality in the workforce, we are certainly falling behind when it comes to helping the Black community feel supported in Tech. I want to talk about helping you leverage your skills to move into the Tech world and feel confident doing so.

In this chat, we will cover:

  • How to create community and safe spaces for Black Tech Employees and other communities
  • Tips on being an Intrapreneur
  • Skills to possess to transition from a nonprofit to tech
