Issue 52 Sista Circle - Black Women in Tech, with Lexi B.
500 Words is a publication of FutureX.Studio.
Hello!
In the newest episode of The FutureX Podcast you’ll meet Lexi B. Lexi B is one of Silicon Valley’s most candid and prominent voices. She is the founder of Sista Circle: Black Women in Tech, a community that supports Black women in tech companies and tech related professions.
Lexi B. and I talk about why she started Sista Circle and what it accomplishes now. We discuss why a group of Black women meeting to talk about work is fundamentally different from a group of white men meeting to talk about the same thing.
She believes that when you enter a room, you can be the most privileged person in that room and also the least privileged person in that room at the same time. Privilege can refer to race, background, and institutional knowledge.
