Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd and Bartow Police Chief Andy Ray are holding a news conference at 6:15 p.m.

When you think of getting started in the tech field it can feel confusing and out of reach. So, one man is doing his part to clear things up and help people find their place in the growing industry. He was working in the entertainment industry when things took a bad turn, he ended up homeless, and living with his wife’s grandmother. He helped create the group “Black Orlando Tech.” The goal is to help diversify the industry and give people who don’t have exposure to it a sense of belonging. AdWalker says the group holds meetings where industry leaders meet up with newbies and people who want to know more about tech opportunities.
