Description

Both speakers in this solutions-oriented session are determined to change the face of the tech sector, away from one that's overwhelmingly white and male to a more diverse, representative one that amplifies black women's power and presence. Kimberly Bryant is an accomplished engineer now at the helm of Black Girls CODE, while Felecia Hatcher, the visionary behind Black Tech Week, builds up black entrepreneurs as CEO of Pharrell's Black Ambition Opportunity Fund. What's the capacity for forces like coding and VC funding to alter who's leading the tech companies of the future?
