In an interview with erenow.net, she briefly talks about how for years, her career has been grounded by a stereotype saying “you don’t belong here”, suggesting that people in the tech field have been holding this against black women. With projects of hers such as “#RealDiversityNumbers”, she spends only 80% of her time doing her actual work and make use of the rest of her spare to pursue a passion that encourages BIPOC programmers and engineers like her to go beyond race and gender, and urges tech companies to create a more inclusive working environment for their community. According to Baker, we still have a long way to go until BIPOC programmers, especially female BIPOC programmers, break free from all the limitations set by people who judge, and “once we get to a place where there is real accountability, where we focus on inclusion, and where we’re recognizing the importance of intersectionality, we’ll start to see the landscape improve dramatically.”
