What does it take to survive — and thrive — across four decades of technological change when the system was never designed for you?
In A Black Journey in Tech, veteran technologist Dwight D. Jones Sr. shares a powerful, honest account of navigating 40 years of transformation in the technology industry — from mainframes and dial‑up networks to cloud computing and artificial intelligence — while carrying the weight of being unseen, underestimated, and often erased.
This book is not a résumé.
It is a survival guide, career playbook, and mirror for anyone who has ever questioned whether they belong in tech.
Through lived experience, mentorship wisdom, and hard‑won lessons, Dwight explores:
- How Black professionals navigate bias, displacement, and shifting goalposts in corporate tech
- The difference between talent and access — and how to build leverage when access is limited
- Why adaptability is the most important skill in every era of innovation
- How to build a career that lasts through layoffs, reorganizations, and industry disruption
- What it means to lift others while you climb
Since its release, A Black Journey in Tech has become a trusted resource for career growth and confidence. More than 20 Microsoft employees have publicly credited this book as a catalyst for promotions and career breakthroughs, and readers consistently rate it 5 stars for its authenticity, clarity, and impact.
This book is for:
- Early‑career technologists searching for direction
- Mid‑career professionals navigating burnout or stagnation
- Leaders who want to build legacy, not just title
- Anyone who needs proof that their journey — and their brilliance — matters
This is not a story about fitting in.
It is a story about endurance, excellence, and belonging on your own terms.

Hardcover. Zustand: A near fine copy. Shaikh (Retina99), Mr. Imran (illustrator). First edition. Inscribed by the author on the front pastedown. This book will shine a light on the low percentage of Blacks in the field of technology. It also shows the desperate needs of African American men in particular who get lost in this world because they don't know their worth, or their identity, and are searching for a place to use their gifts. This book will inspire you to break through all those glass ceilings that are demotivating you to, "What Glass?." You will never truly be walking alone. Faith, Family, Friends, and people you would not expect are sources of inspiration, help, and support along that road. Bound in slick illustrated boards. 160 pages illustrated from photographs. Signed. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 15382
