Racial justice and addressing social inequalities is a priority for many, but few are able to make it a central part of their jobs, especially in engineering. We've especially seen in the past year how tech companies struggle to adjust to their employees' growing political involvement or frustration, and such mission-aligned work is largely ignored or seldom found.  

Archana Ahlawat is a founding engineer at Color of Change, a racial justice nonprofit focused on activating people and campaigning digitally. After graduating from Duke in 2019, Archana found herself at Microsoft as a Software Engineer, but after a year she found herself drawn to joining a mission-aligned nonprofit, building up their team and technology to further social good. In this episode, we'll be uncovering the intersection of tech and racial justice, and how to pursue innovation in nonprofit work.
