What better way to drive growth and effect real change than to increase diversity in the next generation of STEM creators and innovators? Kimberly Bryant launched Black Girls Code with the mission to introduce young and pre-teen girls to computer programming-providing increased access and exposure to the skills, opportunities, and encouragement to succeed in STEM professions. The technology industry thrives on innovation. We hope you’ll join us in supporting pioneers who are making history by working to break down barriers, build up communities, and inspire others! Kimberly Bryant-Black Girls Code We’re celebrating the end of Black History Month and the beginning of Women’s History Month by honoring some of these incredible women and introducing you to their amazing companies. While these businesses are spread across every industry, seeing women succeed in tech is something we are always excited to see. As of 2019, 50% of all women-owned businesses are owned by women of color. In fact, 89% of all new businesses started by women are founded by women of color. The landscape of entrepreneurship has shifted, and women of color are leading the shift.
