Here’s a scary stat: less than 2% of the technology sector workforce is made up of Latinas. And yet tech is all across our lives. What are you reading these show notes on right now? How are you listening to this podcast?
It’s all tech!
Theresa Gonzales is a childfree, third-generation Mexican-American, and the CEO and producer of the podcast Latinas from the Block to the Boardroom. Her podcast is a social justice platform that focuses on women of color, especially Latina voices. And one of Theresa’s primary concerns is how tech, especially artificial intelligence, represents Latinas.
Having worked for several major tech companies, Theresa is able to leverage her unique experience to expose the potential downsides of AI. And not to spoil the episode, but it’s not great. Since few Latinas have access to write the code, we can’t be accurately represented by the code. Instead we’re mired in culturally demeaning stereotypes.
***Support the show for as little as $3/month***
But we feel strongly that Gen Z will turn that around by dismantling the double standards in the industry, and use their bold sense of self to create healthy boundaries in these corporate and creative spaces.
This episode is an illustration of the heartbreaks of assimilation, the quiet blessing of infertility, and the lessons learned from nearly 2 decades in the tech space.
