Racism, Sexism, and Discrimination at Squarespace

Amélie Lamont:

As a young black woman in the tech industry, by virtue of my existence, I am bound to face discrimination. I’ve wanted to share this story for 2 years, but I’ve been scared. I recently decided that speaking up is far more important than remaining silent.

I’m hoping that telling my story urges both Squarespace and other companies in the tech industry to change their behaviors for the better.

If my experience resonates with you, maybe you’ll be inspired to speak up, or at least seek help. If it doesn’t, that’s fine. Keep it civil.
