Today's guest is Sherell Dorsey, founder and CEO of The Plug – an online news and insights platform covering black tech founders, companies and ecosystems. She is also author of the book, Upper Hand: The Future of Work for the Rest of Us.In this interview, we discuss what she was like growing up - from having a technophile grandfather who inspired and encouraged her to use tech, to her entrepreneurial spirit which was somewhat shaped when, as a child, she joined her mother in boardrooms. Sherrell was also heavily influenced by the black and brown role models she found herself surrounded by whether they were from church, through programmes like Technology Access Foundation co-founded by Trish Millines Dziko and/or held senior positions in business and her community. Sherrell always had a strong work ethic and started internships at Microsoft as a teenager. To get the internship, she had to pull a computer apart and then put it back together before identifying bugs in the software!We also talk about her book, Upper Hand, how she had the idea for The Plug and what it took to get it off the ground, as well as how persistence, being consistent and a sprinkling of serendipity has shaped her life.I was really inspired by Sherell and know you will be too. ------Sherrell Twitter / The Plug / Instagram Upper Hand: The Future of Work for the Rest of UsDanielle Twitter / Instagram / NewsletterEpisode edited by Jolin Cheng
Getting your piece the of data economy | Angela Benton, Founder & CEO of Streamlytics Nearly everything we do — from the songs we listen to; to the shows we watch; heck, even just walking down the street — now results in the creation of data. That's why Angela Benton founded Streamlytics, a company that allows consumers to see who is harvesting their data, how it's being used — and how to get their cut. “Imagine a world where you own and control who has access to your data, and you also get compensated for it,” Benton says. That's Streamlytics' vision of a fairer data economy.

Sugar...Spice...Some dust...And everything nice...We sound like we can whip something up, don't we? Well, even if we can't, our co-host for the week can. This week, we have Carlos from the food blog, CarlosCooking.com, with us. We may have said it before, but this week, we can confidently say that this is probably one of the best episodes we have done. Our Black Magic Woman is Angela Benton, a major pioneer in technology, and Living While Black centers on the adverse effects that Covid-19 is having on black people in this country. A large percentage of black people work in essential positions and are exposing themselves at ridiculous levels to Covid-19 exposure, but must work because of the financial consequences that could be brought upon them and their families if they don't.Rude Talk is all about relationships and very unique relationship situations. As you're listening to the situations, ask yourself "Would you end the relationship?"For all things Carlos Cooking, check out the information below:Website: https://carloscooking.comInstagram: CarlosIsCookingFacebook: CarlosCooksTwitter: @carloscooking__
