**BIT MISSION
Blacks In Technology is a tech-focused community and media organization that is dedicated to increasing the representation and participation of Black people in the technology industry.
Our goal and mission are to “stomp the divide” between Black tech workers and to fundamentally influence and effect change on an industry that has historically not sought parity with respect to Black workers.
Our intent is to level the playing field through training, education, networking, and mentorship with the support of allies, partners, sponsors, and most importantly our global members.
BIT has quite a number of partners and sponsors who are helping in bringing this mission to life, below are a few of the partners and sponsors.
