“ To create a venue for black developers and tech professionals in the city, Bulambo founded [BlackInTech Berlin] about a year ago. It now has about 600 members who speak about career opportunities and swap tips on navigating Berlin’s technology landscape. “In our first meet-up, people shared their experiences — the struggle of moving from Nigeria or Ghana and being faced with the reality that they are no longer Nigerian or Ghanian, they are black,” Bulambo said..”

“Berlin’s tech sector employs over 70,000 people. Thanks to the Black in Tech group, Bulambo, who works as a recruiter, has been able to hire many more Black programmers.”
