As we continue to celebrate Women's History Month, I want to spotlight a specific organization that has significantly impacted my growth in technology. Joining CRN's Women of the Channel (WOTC) about four years ago was a pivotal moment for me. I was seeking a safe space to share my thoughts, and the welcoming, supportive community I found there was exactly what I needed. Their advice and openness helped me grow professionally and personally.
March is a time to celebrate the achievements and contributions of women throughout history, and this Women's History Month, I am taking a moment to shine a light on the remarkable women who have been instrumental to my journey and the success of BlackHawk Data.
Gender Disparities in Tech
Women are expected to make up 47.2% of the workforce by 2024. However, the tech industry is still lagging behind the curve. Only 26% of computing jobs are held by women. Of those women, only 3% are black, 6% are Asian and 2% are Hispanic. The numbers are clear; even in today’s modern times, women (and especially women of color) are fighting uphill battles to participate in tech.
