I work in downtown Oakland (one of the most diverse cities in the nation). My colleague and I went for coffee at a nearby (female) Black-owned coffee shop that was a Peet’s before the pandemic. This statue is right outside. I have noticed recently that a lot of small Black-owned businesses have been opening in Oakland, and I wish them the best. #blackbusiness #BlackLivesMatter #BlackWealthMatters #SayHerName

Q: What's worst than a VC?
A: An overtly racist VC.

I am -not- swayed by racists in suits with money and influence.

Below is a story I helped break about racist interactions in America's Venture Capital industry.

I intend to build a Mastodon server where the admin team fully understands the reality faced by Black Americans in all corners of life.
