This week, OSTP’s Olivia Zhu joined Hack the Future in historic Greenwood, Oklahoma, to talk about the importance of inclusive, community-based AI innovation as we seize AI’s benefits and manage its risks.

OU-Norman Emergency: There is an active shooter at the Van Vleet Oval. Take immediate action now. Run. Hide. Fight!

In my opinion, companies that either want to solve this issue or that need more diverse #cyber security talent should participate in and/or partner with initiatives/programs designed to train Black #cyber talent and provide them with jobs. Tyrance Billingsley II #ShareTheMicInCyber (16/19)

Thank you, Tyrance Billingsley II for sharing your story! I enjoyed learning more about you and your cybersecurity journey. Dave Luber #ShareTheMicInCyber (19/19)

Thank you, Dave Luber for sharing your platform with me today! It's been a pleasure to share my story with you and your audience! Tyrance Billingsley II #ShareTheMicInCyber (18/19)

While our country works to bring more Black people into
#cybersecurity nationally, Black Tech Street will continue to work with programs like @TulsaInnovation at @Tulsacc to offer pathways to tech & rebirth Black Wall Street via technology! Tyrance Billingsley II #ShareTheMicInCyber (17/19)

Only 9% of the #cybersecurity workforce consists of Black Americans. As a result, there is a strong need to recruit and hire Black cybersecurity talent. Many organizations are willing to pay for training and certifications. Tyrance Billingsley II #ShareTheMicInCyber (11/19)

Based on @CityofTulsaGov positioning, Black Tech Street has identified a few key areas to facilitate the rebirth of Black Wall Street based on impact and wealth potential. Tyrance Billingsley II #ShareTheMicInCyber (10/19)

Epiphany 3: In the next decade, there are predicted to be as many as 4.3 million vacant, high paying #technology jobs due to a talent shortage. Tyrance Billingsley II #ShareTheMicInCyber (8/19)

Epiphany 2: #Technology is the core medium through which global innovation and the creation of new markets consistently take place. Tyrance Billingsley II #ShareTheMicInCyber (7/19)

Epiphany 1: #Technology is the best industry to create inter-generational wealth, specifically around 7-10 years after a tech company is sold. Tyrance Billingsley II #ShareTheMicInCyber (6/19)

These three things led me to believe that if Black Wall Street would have been supported, and not destroyed, it would be nothing less than a premiere Black #technology ecosystem. Hence, Black Tech Street! Tyrance Billingsley II #ShareTheMicInCyber (9/19)

I started Black Tech Street because I asked myself “What would Black Wall Street have been if it was supported, and not destroyed?” Then I had a three-pronged epiphany.Tyrance Billingsley II #ShareTheMicInCyber (5/19)

I made the leap from politics/government to #technology when I realized the biggest problems of the 21st century can largely be solved with innovation. Technology and #entrepreneurship are key to making a global impact. Tyrance Billingsley II #ShareTheMicInCyber (4/19)

I grew up in @CityofTulsaGov, home of the legendary Black Wall Street! I went to college at @Tulsacc and @OSUTulsa, where I studied Political Science and Business Management. Tyrance Billingsley II #ShareTheMicInCyber (3/19)

Thank you for the opportunity Dave Luber! My goal for participating in #ShareTheMicInCyber is to use this platform to bring awareness to opportunities that exist for Black Americans in #Cybersecurity , both as individuals and collectively as a people! Tyrance Billingsley II (2/19)
