innovation in community building w/kham ward, ceo of blk men in tech
guest: kham ward, ceo of blk men in tech
- start small when building community, kham ward grew black men in tech from a single zoom call with friends checking in on each other
- use panels instead of solo talks so attendees hear multiple perspectives on the same topic like resumes or job searching
- build community outside of work topics first, trust and connection often matter more than technical conversation
- to improve diversity hiring, build a recruiting team that reflects who you want to hire and create representation at every level, not just top or bottom
- before asking someone for help or mentorship, show up consistently and add value first, then look for ways to collaborate over time
