To my concern, I think it has been a problem that every black woman that is on social media such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or Snapchat does not know that there are other Tech women influencers on these networks. According to blackwomentech, there are roughly about 200 black women in tech that you can follow on twitter. Many of these black women are innovators, college students, young professionals or founders who are under the age of 25. I think these women either just do not know about these women or do not want to follow them. When you follow these women, they usually share great information, news, ideas and tips related to inclusion, images, a celebration of diversity in tech and the elevation of underrepresented groups. As a college student that is about to be out in the real world, I should be up-to-date with other active users that are into tech on social media platforms where in this case the social media is Twitter.

If you are on twitter, I highly encourage you to follow at least of few of these 200 black women. Since there are 200 different tech black women on twitter, I will only list 10 that I find interesting based on their Twitter bio and share the link to the webpage that has all 200!

All these women and many more have their own purpose in the tech world. These women give great tips, share different information regarding black women in tech or just tech, and even inspire other women to get involved in tech. Like I mentioned if you are a young black woman or college student that is going into the tech industry, I highly advise you to follow these women on Twitter to get a better look of different tips and look at what they have to say about being a black woman in tech. Most importantly if you have any questions or need further advice you should private message them, do not be scared have fun and get to know more women that are just like you!

I said I would leave a link that has the list of all 200 women and what is listed in their twitter bio. https://blackwomentech.com/
