We were delighted with the turnout at last week’s Women of Color in Tech Holiday Networking Event! Thank you to all of our partners and participants that were able to attend this special event to uplift the community of women involved in this program.   This event was an opportunity for the program participants to connect with one another in addition to hearing from the partner organizations that have been collaborating with the Workforce Innovation Center at The Cincinnati Regional Chamber to empower the women involved. A highlight of the evening was hearing the testimony of Antianna Beal, a graduate of the Brighton Center program, who shared her experience in the job market and how the Women of Color in Tech program and the Brighton Center Careers helped her to find success in a position at Procter & Gamble with a great career ahead of her. We are so grateful for her candor and vulnerability. Everyone in the room left feeling inspired by her story.   A special thanks goes to the Cincinnati-Hamilton County Community Action Agency for hosting these exceptional individuals together at their facility.
