Synopsis: From 26 July 2015 NPR story. "Gomez thinks about these issues every day. She was an early employee at Twitter, and now she runs a company whose sole mission is to fix the diversity problem in Silicon Valley.

"Gomez says the whole industry felt impenetrable to her.

"I hated that no one looked like me," she says.

"Now tech companies are making their workforce demographics public and hiring diversity managers. Gomez says those positions must have support to be effective.

"For instance, "Are you giving the diversity head a budget?" she says. "Are they working within all organizations, not only recruiting? Do they have the leverage to make sure that they are making the changes that need to be made?""
