summary

Analysis uses Google BigQuery + Ibis and matplotlib to show 25% of Google tech roles are women while only ~1% are Black women in tech (≈1,000 people globally), with non-tech roles ~53% women. A grassroots group called Zimbopai teaches girls coding in Zimbabwe and storytelling about figures like Serena Williams drives uptake. Concrete suggestions include sharing beginner-to-expert journeys, improving documentation, hands-on hardware projects for engagement, mentoring, and partnering on early education to grow the pipeline.
