While the main WEF events are invitation-only, activations like the Inkwell Snow Beach create spaces specifically for Black leaders to connect and collaborate. Sequoyah “DataBae” Glenn, founder of 924 CoOperative Agency, shared her perspective: “It’s just so important for Black women to be in global spaces… For me, it’s really about knowing other Black women, understanding our collective power, and using it to make money while making even better friends.”

These spaces provide Black women with the opportunity to not only amplify their voices but also inspire others. Ava Toro, Global Insights Researcher at Reddit, explained, “Being here as a Black woman in tech… inspires me and provides the knowledge and connections to uplift other Black women and girls so we can expand our presence at global events.”
