What if technology could make mental well-being support feel more culturally relevant, accessible and built with you in mind?

Katara McCarty is doing exactly that.

As the Founder & CEO of Exhale, an award-winning mental well-being app, Katara uses technology to expand access to culturally grounded care for Black women. She’s also the Founder of Exhale Cares, a nonprofit advancing mental health equity through research, education and advocacy.

Her work has earned national recognition, including a Webby Award and first place in the 2024 NBA Foundation All-Star Pitch Competition. She’s also an MIT Solve Fellow, Rock Health Fellow and inaugural Highland Project Leader.

At the heart of her work is a simple but powerful idea: start with the people whose needs have been overlooked, and build solutions that can serve us all.

Hear Katara share more about the problem she’s tackling and how technology is helping her build the solution at:

You may know a woman in tech by her title, but not by the problems she’s solving!

Meet Martina Jackson, Founder & CEO of CaptureNoire, a photo and video editing app designed to better represent diverse skin tones through culturally intelligent imaging technology.

Her work sits at the intersection of technology, visual culture and inclusive design, exploring how tools like AI and augmented reality are shaping the way we see ourselves in digital spaces. She has already raised more than $120K in early-stage funding to support CaptureNoire’s development and growth.

Beyond CaptureNoire, Martina serves as Senior Director of Public Relations & Communications at the Indy Chamber and is the owner of Drea & Co, a digital marketing and photography agency.

A Biology graduate of Indiana University and a recent IU 20 Under 40 honoree, Martina brings a perspective shaped by science, creativity, communications and entrepreneurship.

WE STAND BY OUR NEIGHBORS.

No matter where they’re from.
No matter what they look like.
No matter their status.

We’re saddened and concerned by what’s happening to our neighbors and the fear and uncertainty it has created for so many families.

Indianapolis is home to people from many backgrounds, cultures, and places, and we believe everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and humanity.

In moments like this, we can look out for one another by staying informed, sharing trusted resources, and making sure our neighbors know they are not alone.

Stay updated, stay informed, and know your rights!

You may know a woman in tech by her title, but not by the problems she’s solving or the impact of her work.

Behind the screens, women are building solutions, analyzing data, designing products, developing systems, and using technology to tackle real-world challenges across industries.

That’s what we’re exploring at Tech for Impact: Women Shaping Solutions Through Technology during Indiana Women in Tech Week! 📣

We’re bringing together women who are using technology not just to build what’s next, but to solve what matters now.

Join us for an evening of networking and conversation as our featured speakers answer this key question:

What problem are you solving, and how is technology helping you solve it?

Tuesday, September 15 from 6:30–8:30 PM

We've officially kicked off our new EMBOSS Book Club, Booked & Brilliant! 📚

We’re currently reading The Company We Keep: Friendship, Connection, and Redefining What It Means to Grow Together by Alexandra Elle, and I’d love to hear from those of you already reading along:

What are you thinking so far? What’s stood out to you? Has anything made you pause or see friendship differently?

Led by Whitney Grimes, Booked & Brilliant is our space for women who love a good book and an even better conversation. We start a new book on the 15th of each month, with virtual conversations and occasional in-person meetups.

Our first discussion is September 1, so there’s still time to get your copy and join us!

EMBOSS members: email [email protected] to join Booked & Brilliant if you're interested in joining the book club!
