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. 👌🏿

Obviously, be careful and do your research as a White person offering a leg up and a POC person receiving that leg up in the business world.
But when a White person, especially a White person in power vouches for you in the business world, I've found all of a sudden doors fly open for you.
Its wild. 🤔
But offer to mentor a POC/Black. Offer to review a resume. Offer to put in a word for them. Mention their name and their work.
THAT is REAL ally shit.
