“The truth companies need to grapple with, however, is that racist actions—not racial categories—are what cause discrimination.” @ayeemach

“The tech industry must talk about racism in ways that implicate systems of power and call attention to the systemic inequality and racial injustice that Black people face. Only then can the industry produce solutions that reduce harm.” @ayeemach
