digitalundivided produces programs and events aimed at increasing the number of women of color in the tech industry, including FOCUS, the world’s most diverse tech conference (over 80 percent of speakers are women and/or people of color). Speakers confirmed for the conference this October in NYC include FCC Commissioner Mignon Clyburn and Facebook Head of Global Diversity Maxine Williams. It was founded by entrepreneur Kathryn Finney, who was named a Champion of Change by the White House for her leadership in breaking down barriers in the tech industry.
