To be black in cybersecurity today is to be one successful at cognitive dissonance, says Juliette OKAFOR. She says she has to be cautious about how much she talks about it — because Im also trying to grow a company, and I dont want to be perceived as being too out of step, too violent, angry in order to get the work. OkAFOR: “Working in infosec has been one of the best opportunities for my own personal growth, but if not for who I was before I got here, it would have killed me””]
