Summary

This week, New Relic hosted two free events for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) in the engineering and tech community, BIPOC In Tech: Writing Your Own Script and Allyship in Action. The events aimed to build a more inclusive community by providing opportunities for underrepresented engineers, developers, and professionals to share their experiences and learn from industry experts. After attending these events, attendees reported feeling inspired and empowered to write their own scripts, with key takeaways including sharpening internal fortitude, forging one's own lane, drawing strength from the past, present, and future, and surrounding oneself with co-conspirators. These events are part of New Relic's diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) journey, which aims to create a more inclusive community for all professionals in the tech industry.
