Technology is still one of the leading industries in America, but its narrative still primarily focuses around men. In fact, according to Small Business Trends, women make up less than 20 percent of U.S. tech jobs, even though they make up more than half of the U.S. workforce and the percentage of multicultural women in the industry is even smaller.
So, in honor of Women’s History Month and to show that despite the stats, women are persisting in the industry, I’d like to celebrate several multicultural women who are making major strides in tech and digital media and who live up to our agency’s mantra -#PowerFlow. Check them out!
