For DeBaun, the goal of the conference was to bring Black leaders together to discuss how to monitor and pressure companies to diversify leadership and progress racial equity in tech.

“We've focused dynamically on asking big tech to make changes in order to create level playing fields for historically excluded groups—but the real onus is on Black executives and founders to imagine a future where they have the power to create jobs and opportunities as resources are shifted. AfroTech Executive represents a space for these ideas and strategies to emerge,” shared Dorsey.“Black tech has the ability to solve and continue solving problems.
