The one thing I learned from the @designATXTech #diversity workshop is that people of color will leave a company if the leadership doesn't include other POC; they feel like they have no realistic career path. #atxstartupweek

Hatred runs deep for anyone daring to stand up and represent the black experience.

Excited to host @TonyAguilar of @500Startups for tonight’s conversation!! This evenings topic, “How to build a funding pipeline/get in the room as a non-white or non-male founder... but more importantly, how do you control the conversation once in the room” #DiversityInTech

[Design Think Social @designATXtech]

@najihkelley “As a white male, I’d be interested in hearing if you can relate or have had thoughts similar to what you’ve heard here.” @ssaustin #DiversityInTech #TheDesigners

[Design Think Social @designATXtech]
