Techies

posted April 6, 2016 #

Recently stumbled on Techies, an online zine focused on interviews and profiles of individuals immersed in the tech world and Silicon Valley. The catch is who they focus on:
We cover subjects who tend to be underrepresented in the greater tech narrative. This includes (but is not limited to) women, people of color, folks over 50, LGBT, working parents, disabled, etc.
There's a lot of talk about the problem of diversity in the world of tech - it's largely a white male empire - but there's plenty of other kinds of people doing phenomenal work that are being marginalized. I picked a profile at random - Emily Eifler - and was fascinated not only by her position in life (she has a brain injury that wiped out almost all of her childhood memories) but the work she is doing in VR.

And that's just one interview! There's so many more interesting perspectives and tales to be read.
