There’s something really messy going on, between the founder and Board of Directors of the popular Black Girls Code nonprofit.
Kimberly Bryant, the founder of Black Girls Code, was removed by the organization’s board of directors as head of the nonprofit.

“Press release: it’s 3 days before Christmas and you wake up to discover that the organization YOU created and built from the ground up has been taken away with no notice by a rogue board,” Bryant tweets.
In an emailed statement to MTO News, Black Girls Code’s board of directors said that Bryant remained on the company’s payroll while “serious allegations of workplace misconduct are being investigated. ” It said it had appointed an interim executive to manage the nonprofit.
So who is behind this coup at Black Girls Code – another black woman on the board – Heather Hiles, according to Kimberly.
Heather is a VC founder who previously resigned from overseeing Calbright College following allegations of mismanagement and criticism of her inflated salary.
People are rallying around the founder, Kimberly, and it will be interesting to see what explains all of this.
