Remember the movie Hidden Figures? It was an award-winning movie from 2016. It was even nominated for best picture at the Oscars. It is about three black women who broke through a very white, male culture at NASA and contributed mathematics that helped get Americans into space, and eventually to the moon. It's been a long time since the '60s and there is still a lot of work left to be done. Especially in the tech sector. As of 2020, black and Hispanic employees make up an average of only 6% of the staff at tech giants Apple, Facebook, Google, and Microsoft.
So we need some help to get past some more awkward conversations. Here to help us with that today is Cinnamon Clark, Director of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Services at McLean and Co.
