CandidConversations and Code

Sponsored by Sisters Code and Tech Town Detroit

CandidConversations is an experience inspired by the Founder's 25+ years in Diversity, Inclusion and Technology and the many conversations that were sometimes unbelievable, heart felt, and absolutely necessary to effectuate personal and institutional change. If you are interested in engaging in non-fluffy “real talk” in a safe place where you can engage in open dialogue, ask questions, contribute, and be empowered…you don’t want to miss our candid conversations.

Our inaugural conversation will begin by taking the mystery out of coding followed by “real talk” featuring three amazing women of color in STEM fields to candidly discuss their journey, how they juggle their personal and business lives, diversity and inclusion, and answer your questions.

Coding has become a “buzz “ word and many trendy initiatives are being constructed to address the diversity gap in technology. Unfortunately, the women and people of color who are supposedly being targeted are absent from the table during the conversations and decision making process. This is a classic example of diversity without inclusion….

CandidConversations is an inclusive environment for adults where the diversity of thought and people will add to the impact of our conversations. We cherish the diversity of gender, race, ethnicity, national origin, range of abilities, sexual orientation, political perspective, socio-economic status, etc…Everyone is welcome.

There will also be representatives from Sisters Code and Tech Town present to talk about taking your technology goals and entrepreneurship ideas to the next level.

We look forward to hearing our perspective.

Seating is limited.
