Transgender and nonbinary people have reported experiencing employment discrimination because of their gender identity, making members of this community more vulnerable to poverty and homelessness.

Pizarro III, Executive Director of TransTech Social Enterprises, joins host Tetiana Anderson to discuss efforts to empower, educate, and employ transgender and nonbinary individuals through education and career opportunities in the tech industry.

When it comes to gender inclusivity and diversity in hiring, pay parity and workplace culture, let’s face it: The tech industry is late to the game. A true dedication to improving DE&I isn’t just about accepting people into a space, it’s about laying an unshakeable foundation of respect, support, and affirmation so that people can truly thrive. For this episode of TEQ, I was delighted to have Executive Director of TransTech Social, E.C. Pizarro III. Founded by media star and trailblazer Angelica Ross, TransTech Social is a co-learning and co-working community created to empower, educate, and employ the LGBTQIA+ community. Together, E.C. and I discussed the trailblazing work they do to help marginalized communities economically thrive and how this work in impacting the tech industry. #genderinclusion #transinclusion #diversityintech
