I’m a Thinker, Leader, and Speaker. Not necessarily in that order.
I am the Executive Director of Black and Brown Founders. I
have worked on creating systems for equity in the startup ecosystems for the last nine years.
Yes, Deldelp is a unique name. I am the daughter of painter Delfina Bernal and writer/historian Alvaro Medina. My name is in tribute to my mother. It is pronounced Deldel. Yes, the “p” is silent. My family is from Barranquilla, Colombia. I consider San Francisco, California my home.
