Posted @withregram • @joxelvii "I realized early on that it was really hard for me to vocalize how I was feeling about things, for me to partake equally in the decision-making, and advocating for myself in situations where I had a different opinion[...]." - Nicole Young ("My Biggest Challenges as A New Female Co-Founder") There are many ways men can ally with women in the tech industry to work for more inclusivity, diversity, and equality. The road to #50k100days has been exciting, nerve-wracking, and enlightening for @nicole.young and me. While we both explore the uncharted territory of entrepreneurship, Nicole and I have discovered some of our strengths and weaknesses and built a process that supports and unifies our workflows. Throughout that process, I've become increasingly aware of women's experiences in the tech industry and the barriers to their development. As men, we must become aware and act to change the problems that exist within the industry- we have the power to do so. Still, apathy perpetuates the difficulties women and minorities face. Here are a few simple and effective ways men can support women in the industry. #womenintech #womeninstem #blackmenintech #blacktech #latinx #inclusivetech He said it as clean and clear as day. As a newborn in the tech industry, my fellow women in tech get PLENTY of support from an ally slowly making their way through.

REPOST — @ga_losangeles • “This week we would like to highlight SEI student Fletcher Jones! Fletcher says "My time at GA has been life changing. Although the time I spent in the program was ridden with pandemic and protest, I still managed to fall in love with coding. I’m very excited to become a part of the solution, as young Black software engineer (pun intended)😎. I am interested in VR/AR, gaming, and possibly fintech.” His instructor had nothing but positive things to say as well! "Fletcher is the embodiment of a growth mindset. He tackles every challenge that he is given as an opportunity to not only continue his own growth, but to elevate his peers. He also is not afraid to voice his opinions to help improve the overall classroom experience. I have no doubt in my mind that he will go a long way in this industry." Keep up the good work!” #BlackMenInTech 👨🏽‍💻 (at Blacks in Technology) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBwENiAF3rH/?igshid=83nn28dkmwlq

Reposted from @africankingwarrior (@get_regrann) - #RichardSpikes (October 2, 1878 - January 22, 1963) was an African-American inventor. His inventions (or mechanical improvements on existing inventions) include a beer tap, automobile directional signals, the automatic gear shift device based on automatic transmission for automobiles and other motor vehicles & a safety braking system for trucks and buses. He became dissatisfied with how draft beer was dispensed from a keg; & developed variations on the pressure-dispense beer tap. The patent was purchased by the Milwaukee Brewing Company and variations of the invention are still in use. Received a patent pertaining to automobile directional signals, which he installed on a Pierce-Arrow car in 1913. However, contrary to many sources, Spikes was not the original inventor of this pivotal device, as Percy Douglas-Hamilton was awarded U.S. Patent 912,831 in 1906 for his creation of the 1st directional signals, 6 years before Spikes developed his version of the device. December 1932, Spikes received a patent for an automatic gear shift device based on automatic transmission for automobiles & other motor vehicles invented in 1904. U.S. Patent 972,277, Billiard Cue Rack (1910), U.S. Patent 1,362,197, U.S. Patent 1,362,198 Continuous contact trolley pole (1919), U.S. Patent 1,461,988 Pantograph (1923), U.S. Patent 1,590,557 Combination Milk Bottle Opener & Cover (1926), U.S. Patent 1,828,753 Methods & Apparatus of Obtaining Average Samples & Temperature of Tank Liquids (1932), U.S. Patent 2,517,936 Horizontally Swinging Barber's Chair (1950). #africanhistory #BlackHistoryMonth2020 #Blackinventors #blackinventions #blackmenintech #BlackGenius #blackhistoryyoudidntlearninschool #blackhistoryinthemaking #celebrateblackhistory #blackhistoryisworldhistory #blackamericatoday #blackrevolutionary #blackstudies #africanamericanhistorymonth #africanamericanstudies #africanamericanliterature #blackagenda #blackempowermentmovement #blackhistoryisamericanhistory #blackhistoryiseveryday #blackhistory365✊🏾 #blackandproud✊ #iamblackhistory #realblackpower #realblackhistory #blackliberationarmy #blackpowermatters #blackeducationmatters https://www.instagram.com/p/B8p-fZ9nFUC/?igshid=1fgc9tr36r628
