Amazon Black Employee Network Celebrates Juneteenth with Black in Tech Sessions and an Employee Community Gathering

Programming example

I’m so lucky that Amazon affords us the resources to reach the community in celebration of hashtag#juneteenth. Yesterday started with the BEN DFW chapter delivering two hashtag#blackintech sessions to attendees at Paul Quinn college (HBCU) to talk about the gaps of black talent in technology roles and how we change it! Then that afternoon, we threw an amazing in-office gathering for our BEN chapter at DFW11 to share in the celebration…..Soul food was also included so if you missed it, sorry not sorry! I’m so thankful that Juneteenth is now a nationally recognized day and for my Black Employee Network at Amazon Web Services (AWS). Yesterday was a dream!Special thanks to the The Global Collective of Black Employee Resource Groups (BERGs) , Charvett C. and Terika Dilworth!
