“BaddieCon was created to address a significant gap in the tech industry – the lack of representation and support for women of color,” Tsahey told AFROTECH. “As Black women in tech, ourselves, we’ve personally experienced the challenges of navigating predominantly male and non-diverse environments. Baddies in Tech, and subsequently BaddieCon, emerged as a protest to this, aiming to provide a safe, empowering, and inclusive space where women of color in tech could connect, learn, grow, and thrive.”
