This conversation thread is always an interesting one that surfaces from time to time, disappears, then resurfaces again. For me I think the issue is really one of access and exposure. Black women have been at the helm of technology companies as either CTO's, CEO's, C-suite executives, etc for several decades (see notables such as Shellye Archambeau, Ursula Burns, etc). Yet we still rank VERY low in terms of the number of black female founded startup companies which receive venture capital (less than 1%), thus the media coverage for black female founders is likewise sparse. This is probably why we appear nearly invisible in the articles you may come across but it does not mean there are not many new enterprising young women led startup in the space. It just means our voices are not often heard. I personally believe as more women of color enter the technology space and build businesses which will scale at the level of tech behemoths such as FB, Twitter, etc we will change this dynamic. There are many promising and talented young women currently in the space moving in that direction and certainly many even younger codenistas from programs such as Black Girls CODE that I certainly feel change the future. Then hopefully this discussion will finally go away. For good... ;-) ~Kimberly- BlackGirlsCODE
