SAN FRANCISCO - The number of  black women in Silicon Valley is small.  For some, it means suffering through racial stereotyping - not being able to fully be themselves, explains Kenya Hayes, a veteran Valley executive, now head of comms for North America at AppsFlyer, in this interview with Beet.TV

Wanting to be productive, but self filtering what she says, is exhausting and frustrating. Passion and dedication can be seen as intimidating or aggressive, she notes.

Hayes, who has worked at Rocket Fuel, YuMe and Criteo, urges the industry to put black woman and menin leadership positions,  where they are way under represented.

This video is part of an ongoing Beet.TV series of interviews with men and and women of color, addressing their personal experiences and hopes for essential change addressing racial inequality. Please find additional videos here.

Silicon Valley is recognized as a global center for scientific and technological innovation. Less known, and often absent from the public record, are the Black American innovators who were a vital part of its development. In this panel discussion, Kathy Cotton, a filmmaker documenting Black contributions to the South Bay technology industry, members of the Silicon Valley Archives at Stanford Library and esteemed Black Silicon Valley innovators discuss why it is important these histories are documented.

There's a whole lot of talk about diversity and inclusion at Silicon Valley tech companies, but retention is missing from that conversation, says Anthony Frasier, the CEO of a New Jersey-based multicultural branded podcast network. 

Frasier is the entrepreneur-in-residence with Newark Venture Partners, and CEO of ABF Creative.

He was a speaker at the 2017 Black Enterprise TechConneXt Summit, interviewing Chief Equality Officer Tony Prophet from Silicon Valley-based cloud computing company Salesforce, and then leading a roundtable panel discussion afterward.

"It was really about going beyond the bullet points on how to solve tech's diversity problems ... and figuring out what's really going on and why we're bleeding so much black and multicultural talent out of these tech companies," Frasier said.

Moguldom caught up with Frasier at the summit. "Thank God we live now in a culture that's embracing other locations," Frasier said. "I'm glad about the progress in that area."

Phaedra Ellis Lamkins, co-founder and CEO of Promise, joined CBSN to talk about how she made it in the tech world despite the odds, and how how the lack of diversity in technology harms society.
