Reverend Jesse Jackson has been advocating for diversity in tech since 1999. Since then, the percentage of people of color and technical women have actually declined. Leslie Miley, engineering leader, joins me to take a step back and ask the hard question of “Is This a Lost Cause?”

Episode 1: “What is Diversity Anyway?” feat. Nicole Sanchez from Github
Diversity in tech has been a hot-button issue for the last few years, but what *is* diversity anyway? I mean, aren't we all diverse at the end of the day? I talk with Nicole Sanchez, VP of Social Impact at Github and OG tech diversifier, about dad issues, what we've already lost, and how to think about diversity in tech.
