❗️WHY ARE CONFERENCES LIKE AFRO-TECH IMPORTANT???❗️ Because it is a representation of what Diversity, Equity and Inclusion really mean!!! As a young woman of color navigating my journey in tech, I’ve come to realize just how vital it is to have spaces like #afrotech and initiatives that prioritize #techsofcolor . Representation matters. It’s not just about being in the room—it’s about seeing people who look like me thriving and innovating. These spaces serve as more than just networking opportunities; they are places for mentorship, inspiration, and collaboration. #AfroTech creates a platform where we can share our unique perspectives, learn from one another, and build lasting connections. In an industry where diversity is still an ongoing challenge, spaces like #AfroTech help foster inclusivity, break down barriers, and ensure that future generations of technologists from underrepresented backgrounds have the tools, knowledge, and community support they need to succeed. I’m truly grateful for initiatives like this that continue to uplift and empower communities of #techsofcolor .
