The Pattern of Pioneers: Sewing a Digital Quilt of Legacy

Speaker: Angela Henderson | Founder, Strategic BI Solutions

Every great dashboard starts with a single "stitch," and for the founder of Strategic BI Solutions, those stitches have formed a career of global impact. In this session, we explore the Digital Quilt, a bespoke tribute to Black Excellence inspired by the legacy of Gee’s Bend and the data-activism of W.E.B. Du Bois.

We’ll look at how we can use Tableau’s most elegant features to tell deeply relatable stories. From the rhythmic geometry of spiral timelines to the "King Hack" logic of dynamic waffle grids, come see how we use the warmth of a legacy to sew together high-performance narratives that resonate with stakeholders and communities alike.
