I'm sure most of you have heard about the video “HP Computers are Racist” by now, Desi and Wanda have spoken to Mashable about how they discovered the flaw at work and put the video out in a humorous manner to get other people's reaction and insight on the flaw they discovered.

I was born and raised in the projects of New York City, playing video games before they could be played on televisions and designing BBS boards and gopher sites prior to the Web going world wide. As an early adopter and one of the few women of color web designers in the early 90's, I've been involved with tech and networks for over 20 years. 

Yesterday's Washington's Times Article "Girls Encouraged to Enter Tech Field" includes a quote from me about this issue. Getting girls in technology and keeping women in the field is a topic that I am passionate about as I see more young women discouraged to see tech careers as viable options and not just the industry where the boys go to play with their shiny new tech toys.

As an author I regularly write on a variety of topics on media, technology and politics. Currently, working on a white paper and a book about social media including regular updates on blogs.
