After being criticized for being both too white and too male, Twitter has followed through on its promise to diversify their company and better reflect its user base,

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey announced yesterday that BET CEO and Chairwoman Debra Lee, will join the company’s board of directors. Lee will also head up the company’s Nominating/Governance committee.

Last December, civil rights leader Jesse Jackson slammed the social networking site for not hiring enough blacks and Latinos. He said: “Blacks and Latinos over-index on using Twitter, but their board of directors and C-suite leadership remain all white.”

Congratulations to her….

I watched this woman talk some years back at the BETawards and I loved her!
