Diversity + Inclusion Workshop: Removing Barriers to Innovation in Becoming a Better Ally, Sponsored by Amazon Web Services
Talkat KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2020 Virtual · on Thursday, 2020-11-19· at 16:50· Intrado Virtual Event Platform,·
summary
A practical workshop that turns diversity talk into actions: it runs a mid-session reflection prompt — write what you haven't done — and prescribes concrete habits: listen more, practice vulnerability and open-mindedness, and take a single measurable first step. It describes a built and running program, the Black Technology Mentorship Program, that pairs industry professionals with "hidden geniuses" and reports real placements and partnerships. Bold claim: adding culture can dramatically raise product and company value (Apple 1–2T → hypothetically 9–10T).
