Welcome to "Talk Tech To Me Uncut" on KBLA Talk 1580, where we celebrate the allure of technology, acknowledge Black geeks as modern-day superheroes, and recognize South Central LA as a burgeoning tech hub. In today's episode, "Pride, Profits & Possibilities," we're marking LGBTQ+ Pride Month with our guest, Marquita Thomas, a dynamic chamber executive, advocate, and marketing strategist. Marquita, the founder of Marketing with Marquita, shares her insights on empowering LGBTQ+ creatives, championing supplier diversity, and breaking barriers in the chamber of commerce. We'll delve into the intersection of tech and entrepreneurship, revealing how passion, inclusivity, and technology converge to create endless opportunities. But first, let's sip on some "Tea in Tech."

Highlights from "The Tea in Tech":
