"CTRL+Shift is a video project that uplifts the challenges, successes, and nuanced life experiences of professionals of color working in tech.
Created so at-promise Bay Area youth can see themselves reflected in an industry which is taking over an increasingly gentrified Bay Area, CTRL+Shift gifts them a competitive edge and confidence to pursue a career which allows them to prosper in the place where they were born and raised."
