About Blacks In Technology Charlotte
Based in Charlotte, NC, Blacks In Technology Charlotte addresses a critical disparity in the technology industry: Black workers often find themselves isolated as the only person of color on their teams or in their organizations. Recognizing that Black people remain significantly underrepresented across all technology career paths, the organization has committed itself to fundamentally changing industry dynamics through its mission to "stomp the divide." This community-driven nonprofit brings together Black tech professionals, allies, sponsors, and partners who share a vision of equity and parity in technology workplaces. Rather than working in isolation, members benefit from a supportive community that understands the unique challenges they face, from navigating startup ecosystems to negotiating fair compensation. The Charlotte chapter is built on the core values of trust and transparency, with leadership composed entirely of experienced technology and education professionals who are personally invested in member success. Through collaborative networking events, educational programming, and one-on-one mentorship relationships, Blacks In Technology Charlotte creates pathways for professional growth while simultaneously working to influence broader industry change. The organization recognizes that lasting transformation requires partnership, and welcomes the involvement of corporate sponsors, educational institutions, and individual allies committed to building a more equitable technology sector.
