In this episode of Deeper Than Work, I am thrilled to be joined by Lexi B. Lexi is an entrepreneur, speaker, writer, freedom fighter and a Black woman in tech.
In addition to all of that, Lexi is a community builder - which led her to create Sista Circle: Black Women in Tech.
The goal of Sista Circle is to support the work of Black women in the Tech industry by building a strong network and safe space. Sista Circle partners with tech companies like Facebook, Instagram, and Slack, to promote recruitment and retention of black women.
Lexi and I talk about her experiences being the only person that looks like her in the room, the importance of building a strong community, and how to change your own internal narrative.
