'Without our voices, without our communities, without our creativity, the internet and social media ecosystem cannot thrive.' 📝 Shavone Charles

It was a hot Saturday morning in 2007, and I rushed through the house, toothbrush in one hand, flute case in the other, scrambling to get dressed for a scorching day of marching band practice at Helix Charter High School.I looked at the TV to see clips of 20-to-30-something-year-old adults napping in lime-green pods, eating ice-cream sundaes, and riding down bright red, forty-foot slides. I stood there with my mouth open, in awe of this pictured utopia.
30 minutes passed, the episode ended, and that bright feeling of hope and curiosity was quickly followed by an overwhelming sense of anxiety as I sat in the living room with no blueprint or knowledge of how to pursue a career that would ever lead me to a company like Google. Technology wasn’t often brought up as a possible professional path for me or any other Black students.
