A conversation with DigitalOcean s Afro Sharks Employee Resource Group leaders

DigitalOcean has launched a new Employee Resource Group (ERG) called Afro Sharks to provide a supportive community for Black employees. The group aims to create an inclusive and welcoming environment where individuals can share their authentic voices, experiences, and cultures. Afro Sharks plans to support the larger community by partnering with organizations like Black Girls Code to expose youth to careers in tech. DigitalOcean has supported the formation of this ERG by providing resources and a platform for collaboration. The company encourages other businesses to create similar ERGs to amplify diverse voices and promote inclusivity within the tech industry.
