From YouTube: Breaking into OSS as a Mother in Tech - V Thulisile Sibanda, AsyncAPI Initiative

Description

AsyncAPI Conference 2022 - Day 1
3rd November 2022

While being a black woman in tech is challenging, being a mother in tech involves facing a whole other set of biases from corporations and OSS communities. Whenever an opportunity arises, many people quickly assume mothers don’t have the same time and dedication to complete work, resulting in fewer mothers receiving tech opportunities. In this talk, I’ll highlight how I broke into OSS as a mother, how AsyncAPI gave me a fair chance to learn new skills, and how to best support mothers contributing to open-source.
