#BlackInDataWeek2025: Like we never left
It's about that time of the year 🥰✨
Time flies when you’re gearing up for the Spring and preparing for Black in Data week again! We really finished up 25% of the year just like that. It’s about to be June soon, and we are back back back back back again for the 6th edition of our annual celebration of Black excellence in data careers.
We will start off on Sunday, June 15 with a worldwide virtual roll call, followed by a week-long exhibition of the best we have to offer from June 16-20th. If you’d like to participate as a speaker or moderator, sign up here by May 9th 2025! We’d like to hear from panels, workshops, solo speakers, solopreneurs, AI learners and enthusiasts, social scientists, and everyone in between. The diversity of our knowledge deserves to be celebrated in all its dimensions.
Events
Don’t worry, we’re not slacking off. Between now and mid-June, we still have offerings for all you learners. This month, we’re packing it with sessions to hone those human skills that compliment your technical chops so well.
🌷 Speaking of growth - after a few months working on a different team at work, Sia has some new learnings from the experience. Join her in a session - Advocating for Your Growth At Work on Saturday, April 19th @ 11 am US ET
👥 If you enjoyed Lauren’s The Amazing Race Python session, then our mentoring and networking lead has another thing coming! She’ll help you network better on Tuesday, April 29th @ 7pm US ET with the session - How to Start & Have Better Conversations. Sign up here for those gems 💎💎
Bags and Flowers
In lieu of community role shares, we encourage you to look at these two job boards that are run by two great women and champions for underrepresented communities and Black women in technology. A unique feature of both these job boards is that they are vetted.
Frauvis - Black Women in Tech Community by Naya Moss
Diversify Tech - Underrepresented in Tech Community by Veni Kunche
For those of you hiring with the new budgets, you can reach out to newsletter@blacktidesdata.com with some contact information to share roles for the community. You’re also encouraged to share wins with us so we can amplify the feets of Black professionals in data!
Stay in touch with us here and on LinkedIn, BlueSky, and Threads for updates and resource shares throughout the month and tell us what else you’d like to learn with and from the community.
Until next month. Take care, data fam! 🖤❤️💚
