I’m An Ex-Google Woman Tech Leader And I’m Sick Of Our Approach To Diversity!

quote [ As part of my UrbanAMA journey, I’ve worked with many young women in high school and college, encouraging them towards pursuing computer science and getting a tech degree. Many of them have opened up about the hostile environments they face even in progressive schools such as UC Berkeley and have thanked me for the support and encouragement. Now that is where we must bring change.

If we increase the inflow of women into tech education, we will automatically increase diversity in hiring. ]

Right. The issue isn't forcing women to do STEM, the issue is making sure that the women who do want to do STEM aren't being excluded because of their sex.

One reason why Shuri is such a great character in Black Panther. In a decade or so expect to see a surge of women and PoC enrolling in STEM programs at universities and taking STEM jobs, in part thanks to the movie.
