As a Black person in technology, you all too often find that you’re the only person in the room that looks like you or has shared the unique challenges you face in advancing your career or building a personal network. That’s why we founded the Nashville chapter of Blacks in Technology – to create a community of advocacy and allyship that ensures everyone in Nashville’s Black technology community can find career advice, share their experiences and be a part of a rapidly growing community that opens doors for all.
