When you're hired, you are expected to know how to do this job yet when you ask questions 1 question may turn into 2, 3, or 5 questions…This is where I think there is a lot of disconnect from college into Corporate America." "I wanted to help Black women; people who look like me. I wanted to help boost their confidence early so when they are sitting in the same seat I was, they don't feel as uncomfortable as I felt." Links·        Siara Heat Check: https://www.emergingtechbrew.com/stories/2023/04/25/adobe-initiative-ai-images?cid=31280730.462313&mid=dd55ea1dbeaec357e0585e40148dcc20&utm_campaign=etb&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_source=morning_brew·        Jenni Heat Check: https://www.wired.com/story/stack-overflow-will-charge-ai-giants-for-training-data/·        Mattie's Heat Check: https://techcrunch.com/2023/04/24/snapchat-sees-spike-in-1-star-reviews-as-users-pan-the-my-ai-feature-calling-for-its-removal/  Contact GoldieLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/goldie-powell-97301a176/Website: https://www.cybercreationz.com/, https://cybercreationztech.org/ Reach out to The Interface Podcast Crew at ·        [email protected] OR·        Jenni Plummer - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenniplummer/ OR ·        Siara Barnes - https://www.linkedin.com/in/siara-barnes-b47a923a/ OR ·        Matthew Negron - https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthew-negron94/
