Susanne Tedrick is my guest in this episode of Digital First Leadership. She advocates for women of color entering the tech industry and helps make the transition less intimidating. Susanne is the author of Women of Color in Tech and will soon publish another book, Innovating for Diversity, in April 2023.
Richard and Susanne discuss how women of color can prepare for these careers and discuss some of the challenges they tend to face, like bias, mental health, and imposter syndrome. If you are considering a career in tech, know that tech is one of a few fields that you can break into without having a traditional degree or from an expensive school.
