Connecting Tech to Black America<br />

By David Lee, Chief Evangelist and Visionary <strong>for</strong> Tech Diversity<br />

As technology rapidly evolves and advances, it can often seem inaccessible and intimidating <strong>for</strong> the<br />

everyday person. For Black Americans in particular, this feeling is even more prevalent - access to tech<br />

careers have been historically limited or actively shut out entirely. Fortunately, there are a growing<br />

number of ways in which members of the African-American community can take advantage of digital tools<br />

and use them as resources to learn, grow their networks, and develop paths into rewarding tech careers.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Digital Divide between Black America and the Tech Industry<br />

In today's world, technology has become increasingly pervasive in our daily lives. From smartphones to<br />

laptops, these devices have become essential <strong>for</strong> staying connected and in<strong>for</strong>med. However, it is<br />

disheartening to see that Black Americans continue to be underrepresented in the tech industry, facing<br />

a significant digital divide.<br />

Statistics reveal the extent of this issue: Black Americans make up 12 percent of the US work<strong>for</strong>ce, but<br />

only 8% of employees in tech jobs, and just 3 percent of technology executives in the C-Suite are Black.<br />

So this means that <strong>for</strong> many Black Americans in the tech industry, they are the only one in the room, and<br />

no one looks like them in leadership.<br />
