Celebrating Black History Month: Colette Ellis
This Black History Month, NYTA recognizes and celebrates the many incredible black men, women and non-binary individuals who have graced our stage at NY Tech Meetups to present and demo transformative tech; shared subject matter expertise during Forum events to provide perspective and participated in Founder Spotlights to tell their story and inspire other founders as they pursue their own journey of building a business. Next, we recognize and celebrate Colette Ellis, Founder, Start Within Coaching, which offers individual and group services focused on self-care, mindfulness, and resilience, in an effort to help mitigate the impacts of the pandemic and social injustice for Black, Latinx, Indigenous (BIPOC) leaders, and other communities impacted by inequity.
