Kyle Mckitty, the CEO of The App Kit, emphasizes the significance of authenticity and representation while discussing his experiences as a Black gay entrepreneur. His journey illustrates the power of finding one's community, starting with support from friends in New York that helped him embrace his identity. Despite the tech industry's diversity struggles, Mckitty's app aims to connect LGBTQ+ individuals, demonstrating the possibilities when barriers are challenged and inclusive spaces are created.
"I am a testament to that. I am Black, and I am gay, and I can move within so many different spaces because I present myself well and I'm good at what I do."
"Moving to the city helped me. Being the only Black boy at the school, it was a struggle, but a different type of struggle to what it was being in Manchester."
