    Latinas From The Block To The Boardroom

    LatinasB2B Collaboration podcast with CrossPods tech_creepy Lydia Shompole on data privacy and DNA tracking and what that means for people of color. Can you trust TikTok Google and Apple? Theres so much to unpack in this episode but the reality is companies want our data to build new products and we cant even get hired in tech with hiring numbers less than 3! Weve started a movement to be seen now we need to be on the tech platforms to help our communities not profile and police them through technology especially during COVID-19 tracking. Ask questions its your right to know the truth about where your data is going. Latinas from the Block to the Boardroom is a podcast based on the idea that wisdom comes from everywhere. The podcast is intentionally conversational as its goal is to encourage the sharing of this wisdom through intergenerational community conversations. Thank you LatinasB2B for a great discussion.
