Interesting Documentary #Blackinamerica -

Hi I’m KG the Techie –

The show aired on Nov 13th on CNN, It was “Black in America”. Documentary was about Blacks trying to start their own Tech Company venture in Silicon Valley, watching that segment was quite interesting. I am a Tech Enthused Black in America as well. I was glad to see the conversation of Blacks being involved with Technology. As it is seen, we are not fully represented in the Tech Field as often as other cultures. How can we change that? I believe we have to believe in ourselves first. Does having a College Degree helps? Well there are many technology people got in the tech business without College Degrees. Surely a Degree does help, but it’s what you do with the degree is what really seems to be best to me. I know people that got their BA degrees and they are in the same place as me, and I have an AAS Degree. I mean, if you going to get a BA Degree, to me I would be trying to utilize the potential the degree can offer you.

Another thing we can do as well; stop stereo-typing each other. I believe we are our on worse enemy. Even in the “ #BlackinAmerica” Documentary, there was a lady who was upset about a mixed couple working together trying to get their business going as well. There is no time to waste any anger about situations similar to that. If anything one should be excited about couples trying to get their business together, and there may be lesson to learn from them as well. Let’s stop the anger and the division, and start the working together, time is too short. Well that’s my two cents. You can way in if you like, just leave me some comments.
