          • 64: The Problem in Tech That No One Is Talking About

            Diversity and representation have been a hot topic in the tech industry for years. Despite efforts to increase diversity, the sector still lacks adequate representation of women, people of color, and other marginalized groups. The lack of diversity in tech is not only harmful to those who are excluded but also has far-reaching consequences for society as a whole.

            In our latest episode, Kara Carrell and Samantha Bretous explores the current state of diversity in tech and examine some of the reasons behind the persistent under-representation of certain groups.
