In this episode, we speak to Zaneta Kelsey, Founder at Delightsum, LLC, about her passion for elevating BIPOC voices in the tech field. We also discussed: 

  • Her work at IBM and many other tech companies in Seattle, Dallas and Denver. 
  • Zaneta shares her experiences being one of few, Black women in tech, and her struggles in battling the status quo of a White dominated industry.   
  • She shares the courage that she had to exhibit to continually who up and excel in spaces that were not created for her. 
  • Her upbringing prepared her to work in an industry with very little representation due to her father’s example.  
  • The trauma that she experienced in childhood was mitigated by the love and stability she in her family.
