Chloe x Halle Discuss the Importance of Black Girls in Coding and Tech: “You Deserve to Be Here”

Pop duo Chloe and Halle Bailey are speaking out against the lack of diversity in the tech sector and advocating the importance of Black girls being on the forefront of the coding sector.

While Halle isn’t personally invested in coding, she’s very passionate about making sure young Black women feel confident going into any form of education.

“You deserve to be here just like everyone else is here,” Halle said.

She added: “Don’t let anyone shut you out or try to shut you down because you are special and perfect.”

The Little Mermaid star added, “Representation in gaming and coding and technology and science is so very important for all of us.”

The comments were made during an exclusive interview with POPSUGAR.
