my writing

As I reflect on my experiences as I was starting my UX journey, I realized how hard it was to find a community of black designers. Not having those connections made it harder to maneuver through a non-black dominated space, without the black support or understanding as it relates to me as an evolving black female designer.

With companies trying to hire more diverse, especially black, candidates, we must also begin restructuring, deconstructing, and dismantling the process that caused the pipeline problem, and lack of black hires in the first place.
