A podcast that represents an IT professional that look and sounds like me (melanin). Where were you all this time I’m so late and I’m catching up. Keep them coming, I’m in the Tampa Bay Area and work in OpsTechIT @Amazon and I’m working on a project that episode #127 hits the nail on the head. Thank you so much for giving back to the black in tech community 👏🏾
