October 18th marks National Exascale Day, a tribute to our scientists, researchers, and engineers dedicated to utilizing supercomputers for resolving sophisticated challenges and complex problems.

On this day, 10.18 marks our special nod to 10¹⁸ (one quintillion or one billion billions), which represents the number of calculations per second an #exascale #supercomputer performs. One #exaflop.

Being the only Black person in the room shouldn't be the price of admission for doing great work.

The Blacks In Technology (BIT) Foundation exists to stomp the divide between Black tech workers and an industry that has historically not sought parity for them.

Through training, education, networking, and mentorship, backed by allies, partners, sponsors, and a global membership, BIT works to level the playing field so that talent, not proximity to opportunity, determines who gets to build a career in tech.

That same commitment to leveling the playing field is why we're glad to welcome the Blacks In Technology Foundation as a Community Partner for SIS Week 2026.

9th Annual Sistas In Sales Summit. September 20th-21st, 2026 · New York City. 600 women in sales. The room built for the hardest profession in the world.

🎟️ Ticket link in bio. Prices go up. Don't wait.

But I'm most proud of our team showing up as leaders on the expo floor being ready at the helm for our great tech leaders Nisha, @avoilanbingham and @thugdebugger where we sent tons of BIT volunteers everyday!

SUPPORTING BLACK WOMEN MEANS SHOWING UP & CHEERING FOR THEM.

In less than four days, 14 Black women will compete for the Peach City Women’s Open Cristal Cup at Eagle’s Landing Country Club.

Supporting Black women cannot be limited to transactional business relationships. It must also mean showing up, investing and using our influence to uplift them.

These women are entrepreneurs and small business owners. Their talent is their product. Their career is their business. They are the business.

We cannot say we want to see more Black women in golf if we are not emotionally and financially invested in helping them succeed. Their success gives the next generation someone to support, admire and aspire to become.

Atlanta, let’s show up and create so much noise that the golf industry has no choice but to pay attention.

Be there to tell the story, not hear about it afterward.

✨ Getting to Know Sasha — BIT ATLANTA President✨

People often ask me why I volunteer my time as President of the Atlanta chapter of Blacks In Technology 💻✊🏾

The answer is simple: representation, access, and opportunity matter. 🚀

I believe technology — especially AI 🤖 and cybersecurity 🔐 — should create pathways for more people to thrive, build meaningful careers, and lead in spaces where we’ve historically been underrepresented.

Through BIT, we’re focused on:
✨ Elevating talent
✨ Building community
✨ Creating access to opportunities
✨ Helping more people land and grow in tech careers

This work is bigger than events. It’s about impact. 🌍

I’m grateful to serve alongside an incredible board that is passionate about creating change and opening doors for the next generation 🙌🏾💡 Be sure to show them some love in the tags 💛

If you’re interested in:
🤝 Volunteering
🎤 Speaking
💼 Partnering
💸 Sponsoring initiatives
📚 Mentoring

…we would love to connect with you!
