Two years ago I was laying in bed, phone in hand, frustrated with the headlines on my daily tech news feed.
Every name, every company, every “futuristic” feature story I saw cited a dominant caricature of the white guys in tech. Where daily news stories were adept at covering CEOs and founders like Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk, there were very few attempts to deeply cover emerging tech companies founded by black and brown entrepreneurs. The headlines were underwhelming: a diversity story here, a press conference there. That deep investigative and creative storytelling citing diverse experts and sources remained absent.
