❗️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 .

We asked Chantelle Young of Tech Nation why she supports the All In Promise, here's what she said... "Being part of All In Promise allows me to contribute to a movement that is breaking down barriers and creating pathways for underrepresented founders to thrive. It aligns with my core values of equity, inclusion, and empowerment. By championing underrepresented founders, we not only foster diversity within the tech industry but also unlock untapped potential and drive innovation. I believe that every individual, regardless of background or identity, deserves equal opportunities to succeed, and by supporting initiatives like All In Promise, I am actively working towards creating a more inclusive and equitable future for all. #AllIn #DiversityInTech #UnderrepresentedFounders #EquityAndInclusion #Empowerment #TechNation #BreakingBarriers #InclusiveFuture

Happy Ada Lovelace Day! And what better way to celebrate this day AND Women in Tech Week than by listening to the future of this industry? What better way to dispel those myths around women in tech than by asking them about their experiences? ➡️ Who are their role models? ➡️ How are they encouraged to pursue STEM careers at school? ➡️ Are the boys introduced to women in tech careers too so they can learn about the need for diversity? ➡️ And how can we crush the tired trope that women don't work well together? I recorded this podcast with Chloe-Leila, Georgia and Emily prior to their journey to the VEX Robotics Championships in the US. This is the future of the industry. I'm sure Ada would be proud. #womenintechweek #adalovelaceday #womeninstem #stem #steam #steamm #futureoftech (Shelley Zalis and The Female Quotient - with your focus on women in tech, I thought you might like this too).
