Why DO Black Leaders Matter In Technology?
#blackleaders
"We are more than consumers,
we are producers”
@charles_nwatu
#blackleaders
“Black leaders matter in tech
because our young people need role
models whom they can relate to.
And black leaders who can share
their failures honestly are just as
important as those who can share
what it takes to succeed” @chikodi
#blackleaders
“In every aspect of life we matter; for
it is not, I, you or me that technology
touches, it is "We the people".
@gwensutton
#blackleaders
“Robinson + baseball=Better, Tiger +
golf=Better, Obama + politics=
Better. Gotta find the Robinson,
Tiger, Obama of Tech. She’s out
there!” @detrickdeburr
#blackleaders
“Because black leaders, women and
men, influence, innovate, and
produce in science, technology,
engineering, art and math”
@tracygrayhair
#blackleaders
“Because how can you aspire to be
that which you cannot see”
@blkintechnology
#blackleaders
“Because diverse experiences and
backgrounds can spur diverse
thinking, which can lead to fresh
innovative new ideas.” @jowyang
#blackleaders
Why DO Black Leaders Matter In Technology?
#blackleaders
#blackleaders
“Because Blacks are
innovative thinkers that
impacts the worlds culture and
decision making in all aspects
of technology and commerce!”
