Girls in Tech is shutting down now too :(
What’s going on. This is so sad we’re going to loose all the non profits invested in getting women in tech. 😞
Can we normalize men showing up & parenting while working in tech because when men do it, their coworkers who are moms get less judgement, this is how I got my degree, and actual picture of me surviving my apprenticeship with a baby during Covid. Sometimes this is the only option
@EmmaBostian
Being a mom is hard, it’s ok to say it’s hard don’t let anyone make you feel bad for it, it doesn’t mean you love them any less I have two rainbow babies spent thousands on fertility treatments I’m still tired that’s the truth it’s ok. You’re doing a good job!

Between the negative view of DEI going around and losing this many big women focused tech non profits this is going to have lasting implications on growing and retaining women in tech :(
@mysysters
I think funding is going to be hard for a while they aren’t prioritizing DEI and diversity even with extensive data that proves you get a better investment and better software with diverse voices

My advice as someone who sits on a board keep your costs low & utilize free resources & find a way to scale without it being costly . We do a lot of resources we put out they can do in their own time & then we run classes or office hours. I’m always here to help if you need any.
If you are looking for a job right now, AI can be very advantageous for you to maximize the time spent in your job search. Here's how I found two Hiring Managers looking for PMs on LinkedIn yesterday.

We’re loosing all of the big major women in tech orgs back to back in a time where diversity is already being downplayed during a tech recession this isn’t good :( all the work people fought so hard for is quickly disappearing

I honestly don’t think they care anymore. It was a nice thing they said when tech was hiring hand over fist and now it’s back to status quo. Retention rates are so bad, we loose 56% of women mid career in Tech.
Nothing about those tweets seemed like you were being helpful, it seemed like you were chastising her like she’s a child, and tone policing her. I don’t think this is the flex you think it is.
Fun fact: I spent hours giving Ashlee advice on how to give feedback more constructively. Goal was to help her be a better advocate for the accessibility causes we mutually care about.
She paid me back by trying to cancel me over a year later for being a “white gatekeeper”.
We’re looking to provide a scholarship for Postgres Day in Chicago, does anyone know any women in tech that are job searching, maybe someone impacted by layoffs that could benefit from free tickets? We unfortunately can’t provide travel at this time.
Either I’m getting old or the fashion buyers for target are dropping acid from the little house on the prairie dresses to the terrible 80s shoe. What is going on 🤦🏾♀️
I can’t believe this little dude is 6 today 😭 his cuteness convinced me to drive to milk bar for over priced cake. We’re gonna have to much fun having a Ninja turtle party this weekend!
One kid woke up at 5 am puking, the other had a preschool graduation and end of the year event . Still tried tried to get in some exercises in after work and putting everyone to bed. So tired 😩
Omg when you get a CISO Barbie from you’re favorite coolest CISO
