Former Twitter engineer: Jack Dorsey's return brings hope for more diversity

Leslie Miley says reappointing Dorsey is a step toward fixing issues at a company that in 2014 had only 49 African American employees out of 2,910

Just months after it was reported that Twitter employed only 49 African Americans out of a 2,910-member staff, Leslie Miley, an African American engineer who left the social networking company last week, has penned a Medium post highlighting the struggles Twitter faces as it attempts to become more diverse.

According to Miley, there is hope in the form of Jack Dorsey, the company's co-founder and newly appointed CEO, who returned to Twitter in August after seven years.
