Summary

The 'token black girl' is a concept with which we’re depressingly all too familiar, and have been for too long now. We are often the representative woman of colour. With that has often come an underlying expectation to be 'the black one' – to live the sassy, loud, eye-rolling, punchline-delivering, surface level stereotypes afforded to the black women we see in the white TV and film world. We understand that the consequence of messing it up is messing it up for everyone who looks like us in the future and that is a heavy burden to carry.

Whether you are involved from the military, law enforcement, consulting, or IT services, it doesn’t matter. I have had countless discussions for years with other professionals online, at conferences, or over drinks, which have changed the way I think about cyber security.

This is a part of me that people rarely get to see because it’s so dear to my heart and keeps me grounded in every situation. I didn’t grow up reading but as I got older I wanted to know more, I had so many questions that I needed answers too and books always seemed to have the perfect explanation and solution for life problems.
