Black Tech Saturdays and Growing Detroit's Social Media

Show notes

Black Tech Saturdays is making quite the splash in bridging digital divides and being a platform to lift up Detroit in technology. Plus, it’s a total vibe. Far different (in a good way) than what you’re used to for “tech events.” 

Joining me on the show is Alex and Johnnie Turnage, co-founders – as well as Ethan Lloyd, Social Media Manager for the city of Detroit and he runs the city of Detroit’s social media accounts that have been growing quickly and engaging residents.

It’s cheesy to say in a podcast that we talk about a wide range of subjects, but we do – and it was a pleasure to have them in the studio at TechTown.
