Infocomm 2022 was a big return back to tradeshows! So it was only right that I conduct an interview with one of my best friends and mentors Alexis La Broi.

Cyber security is a part of technology that is often forgotten. We get so caught up in devices and apps that we don't even double think about the security aspect of the technology we love so much. So I invited technology consultant Taye Johnson to hang out in my CrashPad and not only talk about her expertise within data science and cyber security but her path into the industry. LET'S GO BLACK WOMEN IN TECH! 

Be sure to connect with Taye on LinkedIn and join her for Women Who Code's one-day dev conference!
