This week we’re rebroadcasting an interview featuring Bärí Williams on the Greater Than Code podcast!
About Greater Than Code (GTC): For a long time, tech culture has focused too narrowly on technical skills; this has resulted in a tech community that too often puts companies and code over people. Greater Than Code is a podcast that invites the voices of people who are not heard from enough in tech: women, people of color, trans and/or queer folks, to talk about the human side of software development and technology. Greater Than Code is providing a vital platform for these conversations, and developing new ideas of what it means to be a technologist beyond just the code.

Reflections:
Arty: Multigenerational roots, becoming your own being, being raised to be proud of yourself and say what you think. Be the roots for the people around you. There has been a loss of grounding.
Chanté: Bärí is the real deal. It takes only a few to change history. Being real is valuable.
Jacob: Wants his son to know that he won’t have to worry when being pulled over, and he should be troubled by that fact.
Bärí: What do you connect to, who do you connect to? What and who are you thankful for? Think about that.
