2024 Host Companies
“[From my perspective] The biggest inhibitors for developing diverse talent at companies are strong hiring practices. Having empathy and listening the most important things that a company can do to help create a culture where talent can develop. Of those, my company [Lola] is currently implementing feedback training to make sure everybody is coming from a place of growth and support. Hack.Diversity did a fantastic job supporting me and finding a mentor that helped me through the process.”
