2371: Tech's New Talent: How Resilient Coders is Championing BIPOC Youth

Today I am joined by Ayanna Lott-Pollard, Executive Director of Resilient Coders, a non-profit organization with a mission to achieve social justice through economic empowerment. Resilient Coders offers a 20-week coding boot camp to BIPOC youth from low-income communities, providing them a pathway to becoming software engineers with an average salary of $94,420.

With over 20 years of experience in marketing and operations, Ayanna is a transformational leader who has dedicated her career to empowering the next generation. Neil and Ayanna discuss how Resilient Coders is closing the generational wealth gap and challenging the traditional educational system by emphasizing skills over degrees.

Discover the impact of Resilient Coders on graduates and their communities as they provide access to high-growth careers in the tech industry. Ayanna shares success stories of alumni who embody the organization's mission and highlights the importance of creating pathways for young adults to succeed and envision a brighter future.

Ayanna also opens up about her experience as a woman of color in leadership positions, advising young adults from BIPOC communities on navigating challenges and staying resilient. Learn about Ayanna's work with The Leadership Collective, her passion for developing emerging leaders, and her vision for a more inclusive and equitable tech industry.

Listen in as we explore the power of social justice, economic empowerment, and the importance of nurturing diverse talent in the world of tech.
