I’m so excited to share this powerful convo with my friend and guest, Rhonda Allen, CEO of Dev Color. We went in on what it means to lead an org that centers Black technologists — especially in a moment when DEI is under fire and folks are playing it safe.
In this episode, we talk about:
➡️ Navigating leadership as a Black woman in tech
➡️ What it really takes to fundraise when DEI isn’t “trendy” anymore
➡️ Why small, authentic human connections > big flashy events
➡️ How AI is reshaping our world — and why we need Black leaders at the table
➡️ The personal cost (and power) of showing up as the face of the work
🖤 Rhonda drops so many gems, and I walked away feeling grounded, energized, and more committed than ever to staying 10 toes down for the mission.
💥 “Let the robots robot. Let the humans human.” — yeah, I said that, and I stand by it.
