Equal access to tech can reduce poverty and increase diversity
“After decades of little to no progress addressing institutional racism, Americans are starting to have serious conversations about privilege, income inequality and educational disparities based on race that keep people of color from opportunities they need to help them break the chains of poverty. The Black Lives Matter movement may have been sparked by police brutality, but it has opened the doors to a larger examination of the great racial divide that exists in every aspect of our society. The path out of poverty is education, job training, hiring and advancement, and increasingly, access to technology that can enable success in those areas. I am a product of what that access can bring.”
