March is Women’s History Month, and do you know who’s making waves in Charlotte with her tech-focused events?
Sherrell Dorsey launched the “Black Tech CLT” series, an interactive event designed to immerse black tech entrepreneurs, professionals, venture capitalists, and enthusiasts in the Queen City’s local startup ecosystem. She’s also the founder of The Plug – a daily newsletter focusing on black people and technology.
Why does this matter? As the job market focuses on technology, we need to focus on creating more opportunities for Blacks technologists and tech entrepreneurs. “Blacks in tech” is an important conversation that needs to be had – and often.
