Have you ever thought about how the software programs or apps we use everyday to make our lives easier take into account diversity and inclusion in who they are made for or even the designers behind the scenes making them for us? Well this has been an MProper thought our host Mimi Jacks thinks about a lot when considering how to increase the number of women of color in Technology on all levels and interactions. Our special guest Shanae Chapman, is the Founder of Nerdy Diva, a small, Black woman-owned business that helps tech start-ups grow and scale into mature businesses with excellent user experience (UX), strategic diversity and inclusion, and investment in their community.
You will definitely want to listen and share this conversation as Mimi and Shanae talk about her love for UX design, encountering diverse women in Corporate Technology, how social innovation is integrated with Technology and Diversity, the importance of APIs in sharing information to our communities and so much more. The fact that Nerdy Diva also is involved with angel investing for underrepresented founders blew my mind!
And after you hear this MProper Mimi episode I'm sure you will agree that one month alone i snot enough to recognize all the things that women do or are capable of! To Learn more about Shanae and Nerdy Diva find informative links below and be sure to sign up for the Nerdy Diva Newsletter.

S2 Ep12 Part 1: Watch her Win, New York - Entrepreneurship Pros, Cons and Everything in Between (Part 1). I just have to say wow! Mproper Mimi partnered with Watch Her Win New York President and Founder Obioma Richardson to do a live podcast recording in Chicago, IL. This event was a wonderful hybrid blend of six (6) powerful panelist speakers each sharing their own stories, tips and tricks to being successful entrepreneurs. The virtual portion of the webinar was managed by Rasheeda Frazier of Empowering Greatness, Inc. Sometimes it takes a tribe to support each other and Mimi Jacks and Rasheeda enjoyed bring a lil bit of NYC to Chicago to support our sisterfriend Obioma with this event because that's what Queens do! Our panelists (listed below) talked about their paths to making the decision to start on their entrepreneurship journeys as well as how or if they used technology to help them along the way. They touched on having mentors, the lack of stability, figuring out how hard you want to work for yourself, pushing through, and something we love here on the MProper Mimi podcast...telling your story! Whether you are marketing, expanding your brand or giving a pitch to your daughter's school you have to be able to tell your story in a way that connects with people.

Episode 19: Have you ever played the game Black card Revoked? It basically celebrates popular American Black culture. Well, as you may know, there are many different Black experiences in America and not everyone had the same pop culture exposure growing up. Which brings us to today's episode with MProper Mimi host Mimi Jacks and Kristal Adams co-host of the Black Card Rehab podcast. Listen as we chat about some of our Black card experiences and stories of how it feels sometimes to be left out of cultural references. We are learning though! And it's fun to relive some of our hilarious memories together. No one should feel like their Black experience isn't Black enough and we are comfortable knowing our Black cards cannot be revoked.
