Spotlight: Women of Color in Tech, Part 2

You’ve seen the sad stats: black talent still only makes up a single-digit percentage in the workplace, and most importantly in STEM. The gender and race divide continues to exist and it’s up to our community to shed light on this topic and women of color in the workplace. With that being said, we are continuously committed to amplifying the voices of black women in tech. Here are 10 women are experts in their fields and making strides.

We hope to encourage female youth to pursue your dreams, speak up, and persevere through any industry you wish no matter what color, religion, or ethnicity you are.
