Unconscious bias is a human instinct in all of us which helps us to make split decisions in the face of emergency or danger. In todays world, we make judgements about people and situations which can be negatively biased. One step is to be conscious of it! @GwistIndia @PlakshaUniv

Meet Tiera Fletcher, the rocket scientist who helped bring @NASA’s Space Launch System, which will send the Orion spacecraft and its crew into deep space, to life. 🚀 #BlackHistoryMonth

[Women in Tech World @WiTWorld_]

Annie Easley is a woman in tech you should know. In 1955, she began her career as a “human computer," for what would eventually become NASA and broke down barriers for women and people of color in STEM fields: https://t.co/KZTq6yQptW #BlackHistoryMonth

#WeekendRead - Inclusion on Purpose by Ruchika Tulshyan
In her book Tulshyan reminds us that becoming inclusive coworkers and leaders takes conscious effort and devotion. The book focuses on creating inclusive work for women of colour.
