We caught up with Juliana Oliveira, Global Lead Manager at Thoughtworks and one of the final 51 women featured in The Voices In The Shadow Vol. 5. For Juliana, being a Black woman in tech isn’t just about personal growth; it’s about opening doors for others and creating a space where more women can join and thrive in the field. “What I love most about being a Black woman in tech is the sense of belonging. Sometimes, or most of the time, we are the only Black woman in the room. So for me, it’s important to be here and see how I can be part of something bigger.” Her advice to other Black women in tech? “Be generous with yourself. Never forget that we carry the strength, the beauty, and the dreams of those who came before us. So go forward courageously.” Juliana’s journey is a reminder that representation matters, and that showing up for yourself and others is a powerful way to build community, confidence, and opportunity. ✨ Nominations for The Voices In The Shadow Vol. 6 are now open!

Her work reminds us that leadership isn’t about scale, it’s about creating access, and building systems that work for everyone. 💡 Save this post as a reminder that technology’s true power lies in who it empowers. #WomenInLeadership #TechForGood #BlackWomenInTech #EducationEquity #DigitalTransformation #Leadership

Only 0.7% of UK IT specialists are Black women. That’s a gap your brand can help close. Black women remain dramatically underrepresented in leadership and the tech industry. In the UK, only 0.7% of IT specialists are Black women, leaving young Black girls without visible role models. Without representation, confidence suffers, opportunities diminish, and the cycle of exclusion continues. At the same time, businesses are facing a global digital skills crisis: over 50% of the UK workforce lacks essential digital skills, and 82% of all jobs worldwide require digital proficiency. The Voices in The Shadow addresses both gaps. Celebrating 51 inspiring Black women each year, our project: - Reaches over 2 million students and professionals via global book distribution - Facilitates 22,000+ professional connections - Amplifies 267 Black women leaders across industries and continents Our impact is made possible through the support of world-class brands.
