Black Women Talk Tech: Carving Our Path To Entrepreneurial Success
" Despite representing just 3% of the tech workforce and receiving only 0.1% of venture capital funding, Black women are rapidly emerging as leading entrepreneurs.
According to a 2021 report, there is no comparable Statistics Canada data on Black women entrepreneurs in Canada and limited information on their profiles. The study says the existing research “highlights the barriers that Black women entrepreneurs experience while operating and growing their businesses, namely: access to financing, cost of borrowing, and access to equity or capital.”
According to The Business Development Bank of Canada, access to capital is the greatest hurdle for Black entrepreneurs with 82% self-financing their business from personal savings, and with 44% of Black entrepreneurs not being able to pay themselves from their business. "
"Despite legal setbacks and systemic barriers, Black women are proving that they can and will overcome. With the ongoing efforts of Esosa and Regina through BWTT, the community of Black female entrepreneurs is not only surviving but thriving. As they prepare to take their mission to Toronto, the impact of their work will continue to grow, helping more Black women break through barriers and build successful tech ventures. "
Hey, folks from what was once called Twitter! My fedi tip is: follow hashtags. You can search for hashtags of interest and then follow them just like you can follow any account. Your timeline will fill up quickly if you do that, and then you can start to follow interesting people in the timeline.
For example, some of the hashtags I follow include #blackmastodon, #mutualaid, and #canpoli, among others.
I've found that I can get news just as fast here as folks on #X.
Today was a two Karen day, like male and female bookends they were triggered by my riding a bike they "felt" was: A) Odd for a Black person to be riding; (B) Too expensive for a Black person to be riding, so maybe I'd stolen it?; and (C)
needed to tell me they own a much nicer and more expensive one, at which point I said my food is getting cold I have to leave.
These are my neighbors, and now that Trump has won, will be even more insufferable.

“Black college and high school students report receiving racist texts about being "selected to pick cotton at the nearest plantation."
Federal, state, and local authorities are investigating the offensive messages that have been sent over the last two days.
"It’s sick and it’s wrong," says St. Louis Mayor Tishaura Jones. Her 17-year old son, a high school student, received the text Wednesday night.”

Save my family from Bombardment: A young Boy's fight for Mob
gofundme.com/f/save-my-family-…
"My name is Asala, and I am writing to you from a place of safety, but my heart is still with my family who are enduring unimaginable suffering in Sudan. My 18-year-old brother had his life shattered when he was hit in the spinal cord by shrapnel during a bombardment in our civilian neighborhood. The severe injuries required emergency neurosurgery, which saved his life, but his journey toward recovery is far from over. He still has shrapnel lodged under his lungs, awaiting another critical surgery. Without further medical treatment, he may never walk again and could face a lifetime of paralysis.
I am reaching out to you, kind-hearted souls, to help my family escape this nightmare. Your generous donations will go directly to:
- Securing Medical Treatment
- Safe Passage
- Rebuilding Lives"
