Session: The Intersectionality of Being a Black Woman in Tech: Take a walk with me
Growing up as a young Black girl pursing an education and career in technology, I have faced many barriers and challenges along the way, unique to my intersectional identity. I wrote an open letter to my Black Girls in Tech which I would start with. I hope that sharing my personal journey, lessons learned, and data points around walking this walk hopefully will foster a new thread of empathy, inspire others to persevere, lean in, and uplift others, regardless of their race or gender.Key Takeaways
- Better understanding of the unique struggles and obstacles of being a Black Woman in Tech
- Encouragement to those on their journey to be uniquely them
- How to walk with grace and humility when the odds are stacked against you
- The importance of advocacy, providing access, and bringing other women on the journey with you
