Race In Tech - Taking Action

Episode 77: Race In Tech – Taking Action
One thing we know for sure, while discussions such as this are necessary and needed for education and awareness, real change happens through action. To that end, as the National President of the BDPA (Formerly, Black Data Processing Associates), Terry gives us a 360 degree view of this organization as well as ways to become involved. In fact, August 20-22nd they are holding their 42nd Annual BDPA Technology Conference & Diversity Career Fair (virtual). Go to BDPA2020.com for all of the details
Terry leaves us with a powerful call to action: “Lean In. Everybody’s version of leaning in is going to be different, but I will encourage everyone to pick a version; pick your version of progress.”
