My inspirational Talk at Diversidays: empowering underrepresented voices in tech
The 4th edition of the Diversidays economic and social forum was a vibrant celebration of diversity and inclusivity, with inspiring talks and award presentations for influential figures in partnership with YouTube, LinkedIn, TikTok, and Instagram. Among the speakers was yours truly, who shared my personal story about the importance of representation and diversity.
Diversidays is a national association for equal opportunities in favor of digital inclusion. The organization aims to promote underrepresented or discriminated talents in the digital & tech industries, regardless of their social, cultural, or geographical backgrounds, differences, or age. The association carries out concrete actions to act in favor of equal opportunities.
The event was held at Studio 104 at Radio France and included the release of the 4th edition of the Diversidays directory and the presentation of a new study. The audience was a diverse group of individuals from various backgrounds, all eager to hear the stories and insights shared by the speakers.
During my talk, I shared my personal journey and the challenges I faced as a member of an underrepresented group in the digital industry. I spoke about the importance of representation and how it can inspire others and open doors for more diversity in the workplace. The participants were engaged and receptive, many approaching me afterward to express their gratitude and share how my talk resonated with them personally.
Overall, the Diversidays event was a powerful reminder of the importance of representation and inclusivity in the digital and tech industries and beyond. The talks and discussions were an inspiring call to action for individuals and organizations to prioritize diversity and create a more inclusive future.
