Technology...just getting into the field is often a problem for young black women. Many underrepresented people are not exposed to the field, and gaining visibility is vital for entering the tech world. It is hard to enter and navigate tech companies without connections and support systems.
Women of color face more significant challenges in the tech industry — and they are greatly underrepresented. While a total of 27% of computing roles are held by women, only 3% and 2% are held by Black and Hispanic women, respectively, according to Accenture. Tonight our host will discuss this with a panel of Black women who work in technology.
