Join TAP Network on January 23rd at 12pm (PT) | 3pm (ET) for an Anti-racism webinar in partnership with Black Women’s Business Network. Racism and systemic barriers lead to unfair treatment and disadvantages for racial groups, especially Black individuals. The technology industry still lacks significant Black representation. Understanding and addressing the barriers contributing to these disparities is crucial for a more equitable and creative tech workforce.

- Pasima Sule - Founder and Executive Director - Black Women’s Business Network

- Dr. Debbie Motilewa– Senior Product Manager – Amazon Web Services (AWS)
What you'll learn:
- Understand barriers to representation.

We look forward to seeing you there!
