We have another powerhouse on the podcast this week!

Meet Ayodele ‘Ayo’ Duyile, the Co-Founder of Techsgiving. Ayo began his professional journey in the tech world in 2015 and has gained valuable experience working with big names like Lockheed Martin, Facebook, Microsoft, and now Google.

Techsgiving is all about making the tech world more inclusive for black and brown communities globally. They started up in November 2018 because they noticed a serious lack of diversity in tech. To change that, they’ve teamed up with major players like Google, Amazon, Netflix, Microsoft, and JPMorgan & Chase Co. to make sure voices are heard and help underrepresented communities get the resources they need to thrive in tech.

The Techsgiving annual summit is coming up on December 6 - 9, 2023, in Washington D.C. And don’t worry, if you’re not local you can still attend virtually! This is your gateway to career growth, entrepreneurship, and government tech. With 70+ speakers, 30+ hiring partners, and a surprise guest, this summit promises unmatched value!

Imagine walking into a lab, classroom, or a meeting, and being the only Black woman in the room. This is a reality for many of us in the field of STEM. Currently, only 2% of STEM jobs are held by Black women. Unfortunately, some of us end up leaving due to feelings of isolation, mistreatment, and a lack of opportunities. However, there are organizations working tirelessly to change this narrative.

Meet Dr. Kilan Ashad-Bishop and Teressa Alexander, the co-founders of STEMNoire ! After a fateful phone conversation in 2019, they founded STEMNoire and began recruiting a team of Black women in STEM to build a community for us, by us. Since then, STEMNoire has grown into a global research and wellness community that convenes Black women and non-binary people in STEM to foster community, facilitate collaboration, and enhance personal and professional outcomes. STEMNoire hosts an annual conference where attendees across the globe are able to leave with targeted personal and professional development resources necessary for resilience in STEM education and the workforce.

Tune in to learn more about why STEMNoire was created, how to join, and details on their upcoming conference!! Word on the street it’s coming to Washington D.C next year!!

Guess what?!! It’s the season finale!! We started the season back in March and we’re 10 episodes deep!

This week we’ll wrap up the STEM Career Path series. I get a lot of questions, “What do you do for work? What is a Systems Engineer?” So why not have an episode about it and answer everyone’s questions! Systems engineering is an interdisciplinary field of engineering and engineering management. It focuses on how to design, integrate, and manage complex systems from its initial creation to production and management through the end product or solution.

I had the opportunity to speak with my good friend, Juammy Lora! Juammy is a Systems Engineer at Lockheed Martin, an aerospace and defense contractor. He has a B.S. in Computer Engineering and M.S. in Systems Engineering Project Management from the University of Central Florida. Tune in as Juammy answers your questions on what a Systems Engineer does, his recent work trip to UAE, important skills to have, and how to get into the field!
