Tonight I was honoured to receive an award for Diversity and Inclusion Tech Leader of the year 2021 at the Liftoff Awards hosted by YBF Ventures.
It made me reflect on the last 4 years of my life and why I have dedicated my time to building opportunities for Women to access Emerging Tech through meetups with Women in Blockchain and Women in Emerging Tech.
- Barriers to entry include using technical language that exclude newbies- if we simplify the language and don’t use acronyms, we can create a safe and welcoming space, women will feel welcome to join meetups to learn and talk about Technology without imposter syndrome and maybe explore careers in tech too.
