Unapologetically Dope: Lessons for Black Women and Girls in Tech

If technical skills were the sole requirement for advancement, Black women would be at the forefront of the tech industry. However, we often face battles that have little to do with our academic or professional qualifications. From our confidence to our hairstyles, Black women and girls are frequently scrutinized, marginalized, disregarded, and undervalued...until now.

"Unapologetically Dope" provides the necessary tools to make your mark in an industry that desperately needs diverse ideas and innovations. Be bold. Be unapologetic. Be dope.
