DLL Storify of #SXSW2017 Panel with Kimberly Bryant, Kathryn Finney, and Bret Perkins -- Saturday 3/11/17

Last update: Saturday 3/11/17

Three distinguished panelists -- Kimberly Bryant (Founder/CEO, Black Girls Code), Kathryn Finney (Founder/CEO, digital undivided), and Bret Perkins (VP External/Government Affairs, Comcast) -- discussed "Inclusion and the Digital Neighborhood"  

The premise of their discussion was as follows:

"When it comes to the benefits of the surging tech revolution, America today resembles an urban neighborhood in the throes of gentrification, a welcoming neighborhood for the educated, tech savvy and relatively affluent. But a neighborhood where the poor and less educated are being displaced. 

Panelists will discuss how innovation can be paired with inclusion; current efforts to jumpstart the next generation of minority Technologists; and the tools available to help black and brown entrepreneurs succeed."

More information about each of the panelists can be found on pages linked to the discussion's event page.
