I was introduced to Sheila Owens through a fellow Morehouse alum, and wow — what a discovery! Sheila has over 30 years of software development experience to her name, and she’s currently doing Android development using Java.

We talked about how her entry into computer science was a bit of a fluke, her work for the United States Government, the experience of teaching computer science, and her advice for up and coming programmers. Sheila’s got quite a story, so make sure you check out what she has to say!

This week, I talked with Tiffany Mikell, CEO of Black Star Media and Technology Director of Trans*H4CK.

“You can create your own path. Trust yourself.” When Tiffany Mikell told me this before we recorded, I knew we would be in for a great conversation. Tiffany is doing a ton of work these days as CEO of Black Star Media and technology director of Trans*H4CK, a hackathon and speaker series for the trans and gender non-conforming community.

Tiffany and I first met in person at SXSW, so that’s where we started things off. From there, we spoke about the successes and future plans of both Black Star Media and Trans*H4CK, their recent grant endowment, and the power of educational technology solutions for communities of color (specifically, Black communities). I’m excited to see what she’ll have in store in the future!

Harlo Holmes is a software developer, media scholar and activist in NYC. She's currently a digital security trainer for the Freedom of the Press Foundation.

300-harlo-holmes

Harlo Holmes is someone I’ve wanted to have on the show for a long time. I first heard about her work when she was a research fellow with The Guardian Project, and now she’s a digital security trainer with the Freedom of the Press Foundation. Throughout her career, Harlo has been solving all the puzzles that new media presents in a number of different ways as a software developer, media scholar, and activist.

We started off talking about her past and current work, which then segued into a great discussion about metadata, the Internet of Things, and some of the current and new problems that we’re all facing with data security as we live in a digitially-connected world. Harlo is definitely someone you’ll hear more about in the future, and I’m super stoked to have her come on the show.

I first met Sterling Smith at a Facebook party at SXSW this year. Sterling is the CEO of Keystoke, a platform that allows for the development and deployment of mobile apps to multiple app stores at once.

We talked a lot about Keystoke: team building, hiring, funding, and positioning. We also spoke about coding bootcamps, and if they are really sustainable for the tech industry. Sterling is definitely going places, and I bet you’ll be hearing and seeing a lot more of him very soon!
