A purchase changed Greg Greenlee’s life.

“My dad bought me my first computer, a Commodore 16,” says Greenlee, the creator of BlacksInTechnology.net says during an interview with PotentialofUs.com. “Looking back on it now, I realize how fortunate we were.”

That’s because Greenlee had an early infatuation with technology.

Greenlee launched BlacksInTechnology with hopes of increasing diversity in the technology space.
