A 5-minute presentation from Velocity New York 2014: "The New Normal: Reframing the Issue of Diversity in Tech."

You can’t innovative without diversity. Period. Yet most of the proposed solutions to increasing diversity in tech involve people of color moving to Silicon Valley (leaving their social and supports networks) or exposing black youth to coding (who then go back to techless homes and schools). So, what’s the solution? In this thought provoking presentation, learn about the very real cultural, technological, and historical barriers to increasing the number of blacks in tech and how digital undivided is directly addressing those barriers and creating a “New Normal”.
