Our Founder

Anisah Best

is a trailblazer and tech entrepreneur driven by a deep-rooted passion and unwavering commitment to bridging the digital divide.  


Leveraging her technical expertise, knowledge, leadership skills, and powerful personal story, she works to inspire and uplift underserved communities. 


Born and raised in East Baltimore, Maryland, Anisah comes from very humble beginnings. She often reflects, 


“I’ve come a long way because of God, the hardwork & prayers of my grandmother, the love and support of my family, friends and mentors who have uplifted and empowered me over the years. My only way to pay them back is to “Pay it forward.”


In 2019, Anisah was inspired to start her own organization Baltimore Technology Hub, a community-focused tech startup aiming to decrease the digital divide by increasing digital literacy stating:


“We live in a digital world, Technology is continuously evolving. How can one build tech skills in a digital age if they are not digitally competent or literate ?”


This vision compelled her to make a bold move, pivoting out of her her role as a Senior Engineer in Software Development & Cybersecurity at TD Ameritrade & Charles Schwab, both top tier financial and Fortune 500 companies to build innovative and impactful solutions at the grassroots level.


“I made a commitment to always lift as I climb.”


With a dynamic background spanning IT, sales, marketing, public speaking, community and leadership. Anisah brings a unique, innovative and comprehensive perspective to the work of digital equity. Her technical expertise as a former senior engineer is matched by her hands-on, people-centered approach. 


Growing up in Baltimore City and overcoming significant barriers and challenges, Anisah’s journey from adversity to tech leadership is a testament to resilience, vision, and purpose. Her commitment to serve and her personal involvement in every aspect of community engagement drive Baltimore Technology Hub’s mission to empower individuals through tech adoption, education, and access.


“Through learning, struggling, pivoting, growing and rolling with the punches — here I am still standing, with so much to share with others & ALWAYS READY to serve and uplift“

 

With a sharp strategic mind and a compassionate heart, Anisah leads every initiative with dedication and technical subject matter expertise. She transforms barriers into opportunities through the inclusive and community-focused design of our services, creating real accessible pathways for marginalized people to thrive in today’s digital economy.


In 2016 Mr. Robert F . Smith told me:

 “Technology is an equalizer !“


I didn’t fully understand it then but I do now so it’s become my mission to ensure that ALL have access.


Anisah’s leadership inspires lasting change

one community at a time proving that the right blend of vision, passion and commitment can truly transform lives.
