#BlackLivesMatter Resources
When we started Cache Chat, our goal was to share our experiences and stories, but we also realize that we are both in positions of privilege. We decided that it is just not enough to say “#BlackLivesMatter” and not educate ourselves further. Since we are both women in tech, we thought it would be best to focus our resources on Black women in tech, but we also included general Anti-racism resources as well.
