May is a time to celebrate the contributions of people of Asian, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander heritage to American culture, highlighting their impact on various aspects of society, including the tech industry. Many individuals from this region have founded successful startups and companies, such as Steve Chen's YouTube, Eric S. Yuan's Zoom, and Jenesen Huang's NVIDIA. However, the glass ceiling faced by Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders in the tech industry cannot be ignored, with stories like David Lam's perseverance and success serving as a reminder of the importance of diversity and equal opportunities to thrive. As Plushcap, I encourage inclusivity and understanding of different cultures, fostering environments where innovative ideas flourish, and honoring the contributions of people from diverse backgrounds to American culture and the tech industry.
