Are you tired of technology leaders and organizers using inclusion and diversity as the latest marketing buzz words to garner attention? For far too long many of our technical organizations, communities and events have been unsafe, unwelcoming, and unapologetic environments for members of underrepresented and marginalized groups. Thankfully, I was recently reminded that success is seldom gained by asking permission. Disruption and innovation are products of individuals who take bold steps in order to shift the collective and challenge the status quo.

“Decolonizing is the process of dissecting and removing colonialism. Most theories surrounding decolonization is based on decolonizing the colonized but the colonized can’t and shouldn’t cut themselves off and only decolonize themselves.

Honest and Up Front Exploration of the Racial Biases in the Tech World

Important Conversations for the Tech World
I listen to Kim, because she keeps me from defaulting to the status quo. I’m white, I present as male, and I work in data science—so I have a tremendous amount of privilege and, consequently, the responsibility to do my part in dismantling whiteness in the workplace.
