I'm training for Cybersecurity (IT) career. But in the meantime... Artwork and Artist! 🌟

There's some news stories about Microsoft not having a focus on security, when rewarding employees. One said that they get rewarded more for coming up with a new shiny tech product than patching security bugs.

Hun, Microsoft ain't the only company doing this. 😒 💅🏿
All the stuff about security being paramount in companies? It's just marketing speak!

In 2020, @Flipboard worked with K.J. Kearney, creator of Black Food Fridays, who has just been announced as winner of the James Beard Award for Social Media Account. Here's his fantastic Storyboard on why we all need to talk about Black cuisine, which features stories about the significance of pound cake and Hennessy, the commodification of resistance, and books about Black food history.

Despite what you may have heard in the news lately, the period of Jim Crow was never nor can it ever be viewed as a period of benefit for Black families.

70 years after the Supreme Court decision of Brown v. Board, one of its most significant side effects − the large-scale loss of Black teachers − continues to affect America’s schools.
Before Brown, Black teachers were 35% to 50% of the teacher workforce in segregated states.
Today, Black people account for just 6.7% of America’s public K-12 teachers.

"Black Barbie: A Documentary" produced by Shonda Rhimes, will be released on Netflix on June 19. TODAY shares this clip, featuring Kitty Black Perkins, the designer of Black Barbie, and Beulah Mae Mitchell, who worked on the production line at Mattel, remembering conversations with Barbie creator Ruth Handler. “(Handler) would say, ‘Do you have any suggestions?’” Mitchell recalled. “I was able to say, ‘We want a Black Barbie.’”

@tchambers @fediversereport @fediversenews They definitely should create a proper Fediverse account. 😐 I doubt any instance administrated by or for black people federates with #Threads given the bad moderation by Meta. At least that's what I keep hearing from #BlackMastodon.

We want you to know the name Alice Ball. She was the first woman and first African American to earn a master’s degree in science from the College of Hawaii.

Ball remarkably developed a treatment for leprosy, but she passed away shortly after.

Arthur Dean, chair of the College of Hawaii’s chemistry department, took over the project, and renamed Ball’s method to the “Dean Method,” never crediting Ball for her work.
