Women in Tech: Past, Present and Building the Future – Tech.Strong.Women. EP45

In this episode, hosts Jodi Ashley and Tracy Ragan are joined by Angie Jones, Global VP, Developer Relations at Block. We dive into the often-overlooked history of women in computing and how their contributions were sidelined as the tech industry evolved.

Angie shares insights on how media and marketing shaped the perception of computers as a “boy’s toy” and the lasting impact on gender diversity in tech. She also discusses her work with Black Girls Code, the importance of fostering inclusive spaces for young girls in STEM, and the role of developer relations in building strong tech communities. The conversation wraps up with future collaboration opportunities and ways to continue driving change in the industry.
