Lending Privilege

Diversity and inclusion have become hot topics in technology, but you may not know how you can make a difference. This talk will help you understand that, no matter your background, you have privilege and can lend it to marginalized groups in tech.

This is the version of my "Lending Privilege" talk that I gave at The Lead Developer New York on Tuesday, February 21st, 2017 in New York City.
