Although the demand for diversity has increased over the past few years, there is still a lack of representation of black women in Silicon Valley:
“When we talked with Facebook’s global director of diversity, a few months ago, she stressed that things were getting more diverse at the company, pointing the number of black people in non-technical roles rising a few percentage points.
Despite the sunny picture she painted, the fact remains that tech is very white.
Facebook, for instance, is three percent black; just one percent of its technical talent is black.
A new report from the nonprofit organization Ascend Foundation, Hidden In Plain Sight, suggests that tech may be becoming less and not more diverse, especially at the managerial and executive levels.”
