BoostHER: Ashley Booker


Listen Later

We are kicking off Black History Month here in the BoostHER Club and joining to help us begin our celebrations is Ashley Booker, Technical Recruiter for Stripe, a technology company centered around building economic infrastructure for the internet. As a Facebook and Google alum in the realm of technical recruiting as well, Ashley details for us all that goes into the role both as a member of global tech giants, and now currently as she works for a hyper-growth start-up company. Ashley talks to us about navigating the predominantly white, male space as a Black woman, and how she welcomes the challenge to counter any and all preconceived notions that may arise as it relates to Black women, noting the responsibility to not just represent for her community, but to also lead the charge in uplifting and promoting an environment that includes more diversity hires within the world of tech. Ashley takes us to school surrounding the topic of salary negotiation, right before she talks to us about the pride she feels in being a Black woman, noting the rarity of the Black experience as something she values and appreciates the most.
