Every morning, I remind myself that one of Command Shift’s most important commitments is to work with – not on behalf of – women of color from under-resourced areas and non-traditional backgrounds to help accomplish our central goal: Accelerating more women of color in tech sector and tech-enabled industries.
During this year’s giving season, our team at Command Shift would like to express our gratitude to the many people who are committed to advancing our mission– the brave young women of color who are doing the hard work to transform their lives by stepping into tech jobs; our Steering Committee members guiding us into another successful year and the future beyond, as well as our corporate and nonprofit partners, who are tirelessly and passionately committed to advancing and accelerating our work.

As we move deeper into the fall season, you can feel the excitement and influx of activity at NPower during this time of year.
“Employers must recognize the institutionalized barriers women of color face, including anxiety, self-doubt, and more, set from when they were raised.” – Kim Davis
It has been a busy summer at NPower. We had the opportunity to take part in many important conversations, engage new partners and funders, and graduate more blossoming tech professionals. We hope you will re-live some of this summer’s highlights with us.
“I am standing on the shoulders of my own role models, generations of Americans who never had anything close to this kind of opportunity but who got up every day and went to work believing in the promise of America, showing others through their determination and, yes, their perseverance that good things can be done in this great country.” — The Honorable Ketanji Brown Jackson
On the wall in my house is a large sign that says “Gratitude.” It’s a reminder to me each day to be grateful for the many blessings in my life. This theme couldn’t be more relevant as I reflect on the past year and Command’s Shift’s incredible growth and myriad achievements.
The inaugural issue of The Command Center, is a monthly update of Command Shift’s work with NPower’s partners, advocates, allies, and other supporters to take action and accelerate more women of color in technology.
