Vision
We center Black women's point of view in all spaces where data lives, offer opportunities for Black women to expand their data skills, and communicate issues and recommendations critical to Black women's advancement in the data workforce.
Why We're Here
The 2020 Harnham US Data and Analytics Report found that only 3% of Data and Analytics professionals identified as Black, and even fewer in leadership positions. And a Forbes 2017 data science diversity gap study reported that ~36% of General Assembly data science students were women. If that’s true across racial demographics, then Black women account for about 1%. We’re BEYOND that 1%.
