Black ppl in tech

I’ve never seen or heard a lot of black ppl in tech growing up, which made it hard to be a nerd. But It’s really good to hear black voices representing our community. What I really like the most about this podcast, other than the jokes, is the intersections of both tech and melanin on an international stage. Abadesi & Michael’s Afrocentric perspective on the tech world is comforting to hear and I can’t wait for see, and hear more from them. Thank you!
