Black History Month business career small business techknowledge

Commemorate Black History Month with a powerful event spotlighting Black women blazing trails in the notoriously underrepresented world of technology. Join Women.NYC and Brooklyn Public Library for an evening of inspiration, connection, and progress as we shine a spotlight on Black women making strides in the technology sector, a realm where their representation is notably low, accounting for only 3% of the NYC workforce in Tech.  

Witness the launch of Women.NYC's groundbreaking Pivot to Growth initiative, designed to empower women in career transitions and business growth across NYC's innovation hubs: Tech, Green Economy, and Life Sciences 

WHAT TO EXPECT: 

  • Inspiring discussions featuring notable Black women tech leaders who are shattering glass ceilings and redefining the landscape. 
  • Networking opportunities to connect with fellow tech enthusiasts, entrepreneurs, and allies. 
  • The official launch of Women.NYC's Pivot to Growth & BPL’s LevelUP tech cycle, with insights on how you can take your tech career to the next level. 

Support for LevelUP is provided by the Goldman Sachs One Million Black Women initiative, a groundbreaking investment to positively impact the lives of at least one million Black women by addressing the dual racial and gender biases they face.

BPL’s Business & Career Center is generously supported by Dime Community Bank, Lead Funder of the PowerUP! Business Plan Competition, Dr. Beverly S. Jacobs, Ridgewood Savings Bank, and Data Axle Reference Solutions.
