DivInc: Creating Diversity, Equity & Inclusion in Tech with Mo Shabazz

Networking With Michelle | Personal Connection, Influential Network

Mo Shabazz has a degree in Marketing from Howard University allowed me the opportunity to land an account manager position at Burrell Advertising in Chicago where I was able to gain priceless experience as a brand manager for Verizon, Toyota, Lexus and a variety of products under the Proctor and Gamble portfolio. That inspiration and like-mindedness led to the opportunity to work with startups like Upswing and manage brands like ATXinColor and DivInc; increasing the equity of each and thus allowing us to reach elevated heights.

In this episode we discuss:

1. What are some of the gaps in the tech space that you have seen?
2. How did DivInc begin and the purpose?
3. How can non-tech people get involved in the startup space?
4. How would you explain to our white peers the significance of the organization?
