Editor's Notes

What’s happening at Google that’s making so many Black women leave? It's a question that the story of April Christina Curley raises, and one that has resonated across the tech world.

 

Technical.ly Baltimore reporter Donte Kirby spoke with Curley about her experience at the tech company. It shows that growing the number of Black technologists working in top roles won't only be a matter of hiring.
