What is 'A Black Girls Guide' Series?

Updated: Oct 13, 2024





When I first started writing A Black Girl's Guide to AI, I wanted to create something that was approachable, insightful, and most importantly, tailored to the underrepresented voices in tech—especially Black women. It’s no secret that the tech world can often feel overwhelming and exclusive, but that doesn’t mean we don’t belong. My goal was to break down complex topics in artificial intelligence and show that with the right guidance, anyone can thrive in this space. The response was beyond what I expected, and it got me thinking: why stop at AI?

That’s how A Black Girl's Guide series was born.

Growing Beyond AI

This series is expanding to cover a wide range of tech topics, from Blockchain security and quantum computing to augmented reality and beyond. Each book in the series is written in a non-pretentious way, with the aim of simplifying cutting-edge technologies and providing actionable guidance for growing in various tech roles.

The tech industry is constantly evolving, and so should the resources available to those of us who have been historically underrepresented. This series doesn’t just talk at you—it’s designed to walk with you, breaking down intimidating concepts and offering insight into how you can build your career in these spaces. Whether you're just starting out or looking to pivot into a new tech role, A Black Girl’s Guide will be your go-to source for relevant, clear, and actionable advice.

What Sets This Series Apart?

What makes this series different? It’s written with diversity in mind, addressing the unique challenges that Black women and other underrepresented groups face in tech. Never before have topics like quantum computing, blockchain, and augmented reality been discussed with such intentionality toward those who are often left out of the conversation.

We’re not just tackling the fundamentals—we’re doing it in a way that’s accessible, digestible, and relatable. You won’t need a PhD to understand these books. You just need curiosity, drive, and the willingness to step into spaces that haven’t traditionally been designed for you. That’s where A Black Girl’s Guide comes in.
