The lack of diversity in the tech industry is not new.
And when thinking of underrepresentation, it can be easy to fall into the trap of grouping people with vastly disparate experiences under one umbrella. This isn’t always bad, as sometimes it allows members of different underrepresented groups to uplift others from outside their immediate spheres, but it also runs the risk of flattening those disparate experiences.
As part of the Examining Underrepresentation series, LeadDev brought together a group of Latinx engineering leaders living across the United States to share their experiences in the tech industry, discuss the challenges they face, and how they can use their position to support and uplift their community and folks from marginalized groups.
