A monthly meetup to discuss improving diversity in the technology industry

Seyi Newell - Founder of TRiBE
Why I Hate the Word 'Diversity'
After a career in fashion and charity PR, London born Seyi decided to create TRiBE out of necessity; she was tired of consistently being the only black woman in the number of places that she worked. With TRiBE, she aims to make black women more visible not only in the work environment but everywhere.
