So, IT (and programming) are both heavily white male industries in the West.
One time on Bird App, there were a bunch of educated Black folk comiserating together that they couldnt get a foot in the door despite having education and experience.

A white dude, managerial level, came into the comments section saying he would be a reference for who needed it. Just DM him. He was tired of The System.

That's on that Ally shit right there. 👌🏿

What an excellent human being.
