Your Chief Encourager stepped from behind the podcast mic to attend the Black Enterprise TechConnext Summit in San Francisco, CA. I was excited to see what the summit was all about since I'd never been to a tech specific conference before. In my excitement, I decided to take you guys with me in a vlog, which you'll see below. BE The Code podcast (Black Enterprise) recorded at the summit and host, Sequoia Blodgett (L) interviewed my girl Roshell Rinkins Founder of Liquid Courage Cosmetics Vlogging is so new for me, but sometimes you have to step outside of your comfort zone and that's exactly what I did. It only made sense to work with TechConnext sponsor, Toyota, who has what I would consider a tech type car in the 2017 Toyota Prius Hybrid. I'll be honest, this was not a car like I've ever driven before. To begin with, I hit the push start button and couldn't tell if the car was on or not! It was that quiet. From the Intelligent Parking Assistant to the wireless charging station, I knew this was the perfect ride to help me make my way to a tech conference. So I hopped in the Blue Crush Metallic Prius and hit the road to learn and meet some awesome professionals at TechConnext! Check out the vlog! If you missed it, I was actually featured on Black Enterprise website. Click here to check it out. DON'T MISS AN EPISODE OF THE SWITCH, PIVOT OR QUIT PODCAST!
