Amplifying Black Women's Voices - Building Inclusive Tech Spaces Beyond Tokenism
summary
Only 0.7% of Black women work in UK tech and 62% of women of colour report inappropriate remarks, so the talk gives concrete fixes: establish a microaggression reporting channel, run mandatory unconscious-bias training, and create mentorship programs and partnerships with organisations like Coding Black Females and Black Girls Code. Uses the University of Toronto-derived CARES acronym — Consider, Accountable, Rethink, Empathize, Support — as an actionable checklist for individuals and teams.
