Once again, the Black community is coming together to uplift and represent in a major way and that’s because of We Build Black.
We Build Black is an organization that is dedicated to helping the Black community achieve economic success through careers in technology. In doing so, they have put together their newest initiative; The Mavens I/O Tech Conference.
This conference was put together to spotlight the Black women who have been severely underrepresented in the Tech world for years. Statistics shows that 48% of women have been discriminated when it comes to applying for STEM jobs.
The founders of We Build Black wants to change this narrative by connecting women of all disciplines.
“The goal of our conference is to create a safe solace for women to inspire each other, grow their talents, and connects them to opportunities,” founder Devin stated.
During the week-long conference, contestants will be able to show off their ideas by completing a small project that will fall under the criteria of uniqueness, impact, and feasibility.
Mavens I/O Tech Conference For Women Of Color will be held virtually from August 23rd-29th. You can register for this event right now. Don’t miss out!
The moment that everyone has been waiting for is finally here!
Newly-minted author, Orayne Williams has released his new book, “A Poetic Word.”
Williams’ new book is a collection of poems that will take readers on a journey of getting to know the man behind the pen.
“I have been writing poems since I was a child growing up in Kingston, Jamaica. I remember being 12 years old reading the Book of Psalms and loved it because of how poetic it sounds,” Williams said.
He continued, “For a long time, my poems would be about my pain and the pain I observed in the world. Writing poems has always been an outlet for me, especially as a teen faced with homelessness and separation from my family. Poetry kept me sane. I enjoy writing, it gives me a sense of peace that I want to share.”
A Poetic Word is available on Amazon. Make sure that you get your copy now.
