PDX tech cos talk about diversity but representation in leadership is key. “You see interns coming in and junior-level roles, but ... look at exec teams or senior leadership, that is still very far from where we want to be,” said @LatinxTechPDX cofounder. bizj.us/1q4er0

Btw, it was awesome to see back-to-back-to-back speeches by @RashidaTlaib, @IlhanMN, and @AOC. Kinda felt like this New Yorker cover came to life.

If you're in a marginalized group (race, gender, disability, etc) you likely WILL face discrimination @ work. Don't let anyone tell you that you won't, or that it's your fault. Document everything. Communicate your concerns. If things get bad, find a new job. #juniorsintech
