Black Women in Data (BWD) centers Black women’s point of view in all spaces where data lives. BWD is more than our annual Summit. It’s a movement.
We elevate the careers of mid-to-senior level Black women data leaders through skill building opportunities.
Black Women in Data Professional Development Community
Right now, Black women account for less than 1% of the data industry. By 2040, Black Women in Data wants to see Black women occupying 13% of these data roles. We are invested in the career and leadership development of Black women as data entrepreneurs, leaders, managers and practitioners. Our data future is integrated.
