How much do you really know about the tech industry's diversity and ethics? In this eye-opening episode, we invite special guest Teresa Gonzalez-Livoco of Latinas From the Block to the Boardroom to shed light on the pressing issue of inclusion, accountability, and ethics in the tech of tomorrow. Discover the shocking truth about marginalization in the AI industry, the overwhelming dominance of Google in search and data, and the appalling lack of diversity in leadership positions within tech companies.

Join us as we delve deep into the challenges faced by people of color within the tech industry, from the struggles of getting hired to the necessity of building social capital. Teresa shares her vast experience in the tech world and highlights the importance of innovation and technology across various industries. We also explore the disturbing lack of transparency and disclosure in the tech industry, which hinders access to resources for people of color and contributes to the alarmingly low funding available for female entrepreneurs – especially Latinas, who receive less than 1% of all funding despite being the fastest-growing entrepreneurial segment.

Be inspired by Teresa's incredible story of growing up in an immigrant family and her determination to bring equity and access to technology for people of color and immigrants. Learn how we can break down barriers by getting involved in our communities and engaging in conversations about the needs and aspirations of those around us. Don't miss out on this powerful and thought-provoking conversation as we discuss the importance of representation, transparency, and leadership in the tech industry and beyond.
