The TechTual Talk

Author: Henri Davis, The Radcast Network

Introducing The Techtual Talk - the ultimate podcast for exploring the exciting world of technology and promoting diversity in the industry! Join us as we delve into the many avenues available in tech, including non-technical roles, and shine a spotlight on the representation of African Americans and other people of color in this space. We believe that every child, regardless of their background, should have the opportunity to discover and pursue a fulfilling career in technology. With The Techtual Talk, we aim to bridge the gap and provide the inspiration and resources needed to succeed.
