Underrepresented in Tech
Flag this article
Underrepresented in Tech was designed and built with the goal of demystifying diversity. Fear of tokenization and awkwardness blocks many leaders from reaching out to diverse individuals. This roadblock prevents amazing people from finding amazing opportunities. We built this tool so that if you want to prioritize diversity, you can, at no cost to either party.
It’s all about ending underrepresentation in tech.
The project includes a database of self-identified, self-submitted underrepresented people, who share their bios, areas of expertise, and projects/events they are open to collaborate on. The database is free to join, and free for anyone to search.
Also included is a podcast on which discussions regarding tech and social issues experienced by underrepresented people.
Underrepresented in Tech was founded by Allie Nimmons and Michelle Frechette. Current stewards of the project are Samah Nasr and Michelle Frechette.
