![Majora Carter (left), overwhelmed by the number of black women making an impact in tech, was brought to tears before her interview with tech entrepreneur Kathryn Finney (right) got off the ground. Carter discussed her passion for teaching young blacks how to "participate in technology in a way that means something to our local community."
She recounted a story about a fight that broke out across the street from her office in the South Bronx. Everyone pulled out their cell phones and began to record the fight to post on YouTube. “Is this the highest use of how we are using technology in our communities?” she asked. “ Wouldn't it be fabulous to have [Natalia Allen ] this beautiful brown girl to come to the South Bronx and talk to youth about the technology behind producing fashion. [She can show them that this is] not something that only the little white boys do. I want folks from my community to understand that they have the power to create something that didn't [exist] before.”](http://cdn2.blackenterprise.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/2012/10/FOCUS100-and-Ava-Bday-021-e1349734289580.jpg "FOCUS100 7")
