B
All
right
greetings
everyone
and
welcome
to
the
women
of
replicated
live
panel
with
my
guests,
aydah
jalaja
amber
sarah
aka
spark
yelana
and
breezy.
My
name
is
treva
and
I'm
the
developer,
evangelist
community
manager
here
at
replicated
and
I'm
your
host
for
this
event
in
honor
of
women's
history
month.
We
wanted
to
showcase
some
of
the
amazing
women
and
non-binary
individuals
replicated
and
talk
about
how
we
started
our
careers
in
tech
for
a
lot
of
us.
Our
path
to
where
we
are
now
was
not
necessarily
a
straight
road,
but
it
was
certainly
an
interesting
one.
B
So
after
I
talk
we're
going
to
open
up
for
q,
a
if
you
have
any
questions
but
for
right
now,
let's
go
ahead
and
get
started
so
just
going
around
the
panel.
Can
you
introduce
yourself
and
briefly
describe
your
role
here
at
replicated
and
how
long
you've
been
with
the
company?
Let's
start
with
breezy.
A
I
did
briefly
go
well
not
briefly,
but
I
didn't
finish
school.
I
did
go
to
college.
I
decided
that
I
had
learned
enough
because
I
was
also
very
self-taught
prior
to
going
to
school,
so
yeah
then
I
just
jumped
right
into
replicated
after
doing
another
stint
in
school,
so
I
did
10
years
in
the
music
industry
and
then
I
went
back
to
school
briefly.
So
I
have
a
little
bit
of
a
story.
B
C
D
C
I
started
when
I
was
really
young.
I
was
about
15
in
high
school
when
I
took
my
first
programming
courses
and
I
was
always
working
on
computers
I
like
to
play
video
games.
I
was
always
taking
things
apart
and
putting
them
back
together
and
I
was
self-taught
mostly
throughout
school.
I
did
take
computer
science
as
a
program
at
clemson
university,
but
I
also
didn't
graduate
in
school
started
my
tech
career
after
leaving
university
at
the
same
place
that
I
worked
and
yeah.
B
B
E
Yeah
sure
trevor
thanks
so
I
joined
a
few
months
ago
and
I'm
super
excited
to
be
heading
up.
The
customer
success
department
here
at
replicated
and
was
the
biggest
advocate
and
champion
of
ada
deciding
to
be
the
first
founding
member
of
the
team.
So
super
excited
to
have
her
and
a
couple
other
folks
on
the
team.
Now.
E
B
D
D
D
So
I
have
a
pretty
traditional
story
with
the
cs
degree.
I
got
my
degree
in
croatia
abroad,
that's
my
home
country
and
immediately
after
it,
I
moved
to
the
states-
and
I
would
say,
because
of
lack
of
my
professional
experience
and
lack
of
portfolio
projects,
and
I
really
wanted
to
be
surrounded
by
people.
I
joined
one
of
the
coding
bootcamps
in
la
and
I
would
say
for
me
that
was
really
profound
experience
and
I
worked
with
a
lot
of
other
boot
campers
there
on
projects.
I
practiced
practice
technical
communication.
B
B
F
G
G
I
would
say
my
route
to
tech
was
securitists
as
well.
I
was
despite
the
fact
that
I
grew
up
taking
things
apart
and
working
on
my
computer.
I
never
actually
considered
a
career
in
tech
at
first
I
was
on
the
school
path
to
go,
be
like
a
doctor
psychiatrist
and
I
got
a
degree,
a
master's
degree,
just
very
much
aimed
at
that
goal,
never
realizing
that
I
was
getting
paid
to
build
websites
on
the
front
on
the
side.
G
For
my
friends,
I
just
never
considered
that
as
a
career
path
and
essentially
kind
of
an
internship.
I
realized
that
was
not
the
right
career
path
for
me,
had
a
little
crisis
of
conscience
there
and
realized.
What
do
I
like
to
do?
Well,
I've
been
tinkering
around
with
computers
and
building
websites
etc
for
fun.
Why
don't
I
go
do
that
except
I
hadn't
gotten
an
education
in
that
necessarily
so
I
just
did
a
bunch
of
self-taught
stuff
to
be
put
my
skills.
G
I
was
able
to
pass
a
bunch
of
tests
and
that
kind
of
got
me
my
first
sort
of
front-end
development
job
and
I
did
front-end
development
for
a
while
before
switching
to
product
management,
officially,
which
is
another
career
option
in
tech,
and
I
ended
up
getting
another
degree
in
computer
science
and
engineering
along
the
way.
But
at
least
at
the
beginning
it
was
all
self-taught.
B
Wow,
that's
amazing.
You
were
so
ambitious
and
so
smart,
my
goodness
I
am.
I
followed
the
self-taught
route
also,
but
I
didn't
get
that
far
in
it
so
very
impressed
all
right.
So
I
noticed
that
there
are
a
couple
of
people
that
majored
in
community
computer
science
initially,
but
they
decided
to
move
on
to
other
programs
or
just
quit
the
program
altogether,
specifically
ada
and
breezy.
Do
you
want
to
talk
about
why
you
chose
not
to
continue
the
program.
A
I
can
go
first
yeah,
so
basically,
I
switched
majors
a
lot
and
I
changed
my
mind
a
lot
on
what
I
wanted
to
do
and
I
think
higher
education
isn't
designed
to
allow
for
that
easily
and
especially
the
school
I
went
to
which
I
won't
throw
under
the
bus.
But
it's
not
just
my
school.
It's
a
lot
of
schools.
A
So
all
of
that
is
what
inspired
me
to
switch
over
and
I
did
do
a
year
and
a
half
back
in
university
for
computer
science
same
one
amber,
went
to
and
it's
a
great
program,
great
school.
But
after
my
eighth
math
course,
I
think
differential
equations
is
what
broke
me.
I
was
like.
I
don't
need
this
for
what
I'm
doing
so
just
said,
hot
enough.
Bye.
C
You
breezy,
I,
I
started
out
at
clemson
university
in
an
engineering
program
and
also
changed
majors
several
times,
so
I
really
couldn't
solidify
on
what
I
thought
I
wanted
to
do
in
school
and
the
same
way
had
a
lot
of
trouble
with
intro
maths.
I
felt
like
high
school
math.
Didn't
really
prepare
me
very
well.
I
felt
like
I
had
a
really
easy
time
with,
like
all
of
the
primary
and
secondary
school
courses.
C
When
I
got
to
college,
I
wasn't
very
well
prepared
for
like
how
much
work
was
involved
in
college
level
maths
and
had
to
take
calculus
101
several
times
before
it.
Finally
clicked,
and
so
I
thought
that
maybe
the
engineering
program
wasn't
maybe
a
good
fit
for
me.
So
I
tried
a
couple
things:
international
business
and
foreign
language
eventually
settled
back
on
computer
science,
because
it
is
what
I
like
to
do
in
my
spare
time,
but
one
I
was
in
my
fourth
year
of
school.
C
My
parents
had
a
really
hard
time
in
the
recession
in
2009
and
we
couldn't
afford
to
go
to
school
anymore,
so
that
was
the
main
driver
for
my
dropping
out
and
went
to
go
work
for
the
university
full-time
as
a
help
desk
manager-
and
I
felt
like
that
did
at
least
help
a
lot
with
my
with
my
experience
to
be
able
to
take
that
to
other
places
in
my
career.
I
found
out
early
on
that.
C
I
wanted
to
study
japanese,
so
I
took
I
took
a
year
of
japanese
in
college
and
really
loved
it.
It
was
fantastic,
but
didn't
continue
with
that
program
wanted
to
focus
on
computer
science
and
just
like
breezy's
experience,
there
really
was
no
room
in
the
curriculum
to
take
elective
courses,
so
I
I
was
really
interested
in
a
lot
of
things.
I
wanted
to
do
music
as
well
as
art
and
science,
and
it
just
wouldn't
fit
with
the
the
degree
requirements
in
the
program
that
they
offered.
B
D
A
B
Oh,
those
are
like
finding
a
diamond
in
a
pile
of
mush,
but
when
you
do
find
them
they're,
just
the
best
ever
yeah,
those
extremely
thorough
professors
that
could
make
complex
things
seem
almost
simple:
yeah
love
them.
Okay!
So
let's
go
over
to
individual
questions,
starting
with
yelena,
would
you
recommend
an
accelerated
program
like
a
boot
camp
for
women
that
want
to
get
into
tech.
D
Yes,
definitely
like
I
said
in
the
beginning,
that
was
really
really
profound
experience
for
me.
I
learned
a
lot.
It's
also.
You
are
contributing
with
other
people
there,
a
lot
of
pair
programming,
practicing
communication
building
projects,
and
if
you,
if
you
are
interested,
I
would
recommend
everyone
to
go
at
one.
Yes,.
B
D
That's
true:
my
boot
camp
was
really
really
like
military
every
day
from
nine
to
seven
or
eight
it
was
it
was.
It
was
really
tough.
But
for
me,
it
worked
well,
and
the
main
thing
which
I
missed
at
the
beginning
was
just
hanging
out
with
people,
because
I
was
really
alone
and
building
something
with
people
was
really
something
which
I
was
interested.
B
F
Yeah,
just
to
add
elena's
right,
so
yeah
boot
camps
are
great.
In
addition
to
that,
like
I
found
myself
a
lot,
learn
a
lot
like
going
to
these
meetups,
like
you
know,
go
to
kubernetes
meetups
or
any
tech
meetups
once
a
week,
and
you
study
with
people-
and
you
learn
along
with
others-
was
a
very
good
experience
to.
You
can
learn
that
way
to
actually.
B
B
A
B
Very
true,
and
now
that
outside
is
opening
again
we
can
possibly
hop
on
meetup.com
or
whatever
platform
you
decide
to
use
to
sign
up
for
some
meetups.
I
used
to
love
those
myself.
So
speaking
of
transition
spark,
you
mentioned
in
an
earlier
conversation
that
you
came
from
local
government
moved
into
tech
for
those
in
the
audience
that
are
considering
like
a
big
career
change.
E
E
I
think
that
that
combination
probably
was
the
obstacle,
but
also
what
made
it
so
much
fun,
because
that
transition
going
into
you
know
my
my
first
role
in
I.t
really
taught
me
that
that
work
didn't
just
have
to
be
a
job.
It
could
be
something
that
was
fun
and
then
later
you
know,
as
my
career
transitioned,
even
further
into
the
next
role.
E
I
figured
out
that
my
job
could
be
something
I
was
passionate
about,
so
I
would
just
say:
don't
stand
in
your
own
way
believe
in
yourself
and
if
you're
not
really
sure,
there's
there's
something
to
be
said
about
the
fake
it
till
you
make.
It
say
things
with
confidence
and
surround
yourself
with
people
that
know
that
they're
there
to
support
you
and
help
you
learn
along
the
way.
B
B
Statistics
show
that
women
are
more
reluctant
to
apply
for
jobs
if
they
don't
meet
100
of
qualifications
listed,
and
we
know
how
fishy
those
qualifications
can
be
sometimes
like
asking
for
15
years
of
kubernetes
experience
when
it's
been
around
for
eight,
whereas
men
are
more
likely
to
apply
for
a
job
even
if
they
don't
fully
qualified
so
we
need
to,
or
we
should
have
more
confidence
in
ourselves
and
kind
of
push
away
the
self-doubt.
I
know
it's
easier
said
than
done,
but
try
to
work
towards
that
and
all
right,
I'm
gonna
stop.
B
But
thank
you
so
much
spark
for
sharing
and
I'd
like
to
ask
hop
back
over
to
jalaja
and
ask
so
I
know
that
you
took
the
traditional
education
route,
but
you
had
an
interesting
journey,
leaving
you
here
today.
So
would
you
mind
sharing
a
bit
about
what?
What
about?
How
I'm
not
sure
how
to
phrase
that,
would
you
mind
sharing
a
little
bit
about
how
you
trying
to
transition
to
the
us
and
what
your
path
was
like.
F
Yeah
sure
yeah.
I
think
I
want
to
share
that
as
well.
Yeah
back
in,
I
grew
up
in
india
and
and
we
as
kids,
I
know
you
don't
have
much
choice
to
listen
to
whatever
the
parents
say
like
you
know:
choose
computer
science
or
mathematics
or
statistics.
So
my
mom
was
like
okay.
You
should
go
study,
mathematics
and
statistics
and
then
become
an
accountant.
F
F
I
want
to
take
this
opportunity
to
thank
my
mom
to
you
know
she
had
been
my
support
all
throughout
initially,
even
though
she
said
I
shouldn't
do
certain
things
later
on.
She
said:
okay
go!
Do
whatever
you
want
to
do
then
I
finished
my
computer
science
engineering
in
computer
science
and
I
wanted
to
do
masters
in
united
states.
So
even
for
that
there
was
a
roadblock
that
I
can't
go.
F
I
had
to
choose
between
paying
bills
and
study,
and
then
I
chose
job
I
dropped
out
of
masters
and
and
then
yeah
I
mean
it
had
been
a
very
interesting
journey
for
me,
but
what
I
learnt
over
this
period
of
time
is,
even
though
you
are
afraid
or
fearful
about
certain
things.
If
you
believe
that
this
is
what
you
want
to
do,
go
for
it,
you
know
it's
what
I
learned
for
this
period
of
time
and
yeah.
B
Oh
we're
happy
you're
here.
I'm
super
happy
you're
here.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
sharing
that's
just
sweet.
Let's
shout
out
to
your
mom
that
was
so
sweet
and
also,
I
have
to
say
it
takes
a
lot
of
bravery
to
be
able
to
move
to
an
entirely
different
country
on
your
own.
So
but,
like
I
said,
I'm
glad
that
you're
here.
A
So
I
was
a
really
bad
musician,
so
I
was
actually
more
in
the
visual
art
like
tech
side
of
the
music
industry.
So
I
was
doing
websites
and
photography
and
stuff
like
that
for
independent
artists,
and
you
know
learned
all
the
same
things
you
would
learn
in
the
tech
industry
as
far
as
front-end
web
development
goes
because
musicians
need
a
lot
of
that
done
for
them.
A
You
know
they
need
a
fully
functioning
website
with
a
lot
of
different
features,
and
you
know
they
need
active
youtube
accounts
and
socials
and
all
the
all
the
things
so
transitioning
over
to
tech.
The
front
end
and
marketing
end
of
tech
wasn't
difficult
at
all
for
anybody.
That's
thinking
of
making
any
sort
of
transition
like
that
because,
just
like
the
music
industry,
the
tech
industry
also
needs
a
forward-facing
marketing.
B
Awesome,
you
do
an
amazing
job
at
it
and
if
you
want
to
see
some
of
breezy's
work
head
over
to
outdated.sh,
like
that's,
not
a
sales
pitch,
that
is
just
an
acknowledgement
of
amazing
design
like
go,
look
and
speaking
of
design.
That
is
a
very
interesting
background
that
you
got.
Is
that
your
house,
or
are
you
streaming
from
some
exotic,
remote
location,.
A
B
D
I
can
share
now
mine
is
kind
of
different
story,
but
I
didn't
have
any
formal
mentors,
but
I
had
my
family
and
friends
who
helped
me.
A
lot
of
my
friends
are
in
tech,
so
I
used
their
advisor
advice
a
lot
also.
I
want
to
mention
books,
which
I
read
when
I
moved
to
states,
starting
with
how
to
inference
and
influence
people
triggers
lynchpin.
D
B
B
A
B
A
G
Yeah
I
haven't
had
directly,
we
haven't
had
a
female
ceo,
yet
the
company
I've
worked
for,
but
I've
had
some
some
women
in
the
vp
roles.
I
think
one
person
I
would
strongly
recommend
if
you
aren't
already
familiar
with
her,
that
you
follow
her
on
twitter
and
check.
Her
out
was
one
of
my
favorite
sort
of
leaders
that
I
looked
up
to
when
I
got
to
work
at
pivotal
software.
Her
name
is
cornelia
davis
she's
been
a
leader
in
the
containerization
and
early
kubernetes
space
she's
a
champion
for
diversity.
G
She
leads
most
of
the
panels
at
the
various
conferences
she
she
has.
She
had
the
longest
line
I
had
ever
seen
for
a
book
signing
when
her
o'reilly
book
came
out
on
cloud
native
strategies,
so
she's
a
great
great
person
to
follow
she's.
She
was
a
very
influential
leader,
pivotal
and
then
she's
now
the
cto
of
weave
works
so
she's
a
she's,
a
great
woman
to
fall
in
the
industry.
C
A
B
D
C
But
at
the
time
it
was
really
difficult,
and
I
I
had
just
started
my
transition
and
I
didn't
really
have
a
social
support
group
that
I
could
lean
on.
I
didn't
have
any
mentors
at
work
at
the
time
and
it
was
really
really
hard,
but
I
just
want
to
say
that
if
there
are
any
queer
or
gender
non-conforming
folks
that
are
out
there,
who
are
considering
a
career
in
tech,
that
it
does
get
better.
G
I
think
one
of
what
are
the
other
challenges
that
I
faced
and-
and
I
think
is
getting
better,
but
it's
still
a
challenge
is
just
the
fact
that
it
as
a
makeup
of
the
industry,
women
and
non-binary
folks,
people
of
color
are
still
very
underrepresented,
and
so
you
end
up
running
into
frictions
with
that.
So
early
in
my
career
before
there
was
maybe
a
little
bit
more
less
awareness
and
diversity
training
happening.
G
I
would
be
frequently
left
out
of
decisions
because
you
know
they'd
be
hallway
conversations
that
led
to
the
men's
restroom
were
finished
in
the
men's
restroom
and
then
I'd
be
coming
at
the
women's
restroom
they'd
be
coming
at
the
men's
restroom
on
a
break
and
they'd
be
like
okay,
so
we
decided
what
we
were
going
to
do
and
clearly
I
was
not
part
of
that
conversation
that
continued
into
the
men's
restroom,
for
example.
So
those
were
some
of
the
challenges
I
was
having
as
well
as
just
challenges
with
team
bonding.
G
You
know
because
if
you
work
in
a
heavy
male
culture
and
they're
all
going
out
for
like
to
a
baseball
game
or
to
a
bar,
afterwards,
etc,
and
then
all
of
a
sudden,
you
inject
like
a
woman
in
the
mix
and
it
starts
to
feel
a
little
awkward
right
and
it
was
harder
to
bond
with
the
teams.
As
like
the
only
woman
on
the
team.
G
Women
aren't
always
traditionally
very
good
at
so
know
that
pretty
much
every
woman
in
tech
is
probably,
if
you
ask
them
if
they
have
imposter
syndrome,
and
they
know
what
it
is
they're
probably
going
to
say
they
do
so
know
that
you
are
not
alone.
Women,
like
triva,
said
earlier,
tend
not
to
go
after
opportunities
until
you
feel
like
you're
perfectly
qualified.
As
someone
who
has
had
the
privilege
of
being
a
hiring
manager
for
several
years
now,
I've
seen
women
not
go
after
roles.
G
If
the
role
required
a
technical
test,
not
they
couldn't
pass
the
test.
There
was
just
like
this
initial
kind
of
fear
barrier
or
not
go
after
not
go
after
roles,
because
they
weren't
perfectly
qualified
right.
So
statistics
show
that
women
are
less
likely
to
apply
for
advanced
roles,
and
unfortunately,
statistics
also
show
that
women
are
less
likely
to
necessarily
get
promoted
on
potential
alone
than
men,
where
women
normally
have
to
have
already
shown
that
they
can
accomplish
or
do
a
job.
G
So
I
I
think,
as
a
hiring
manager,
my
recommendation
would
be
don't
let
the
imposter
syndrome
hold
you
back,
recognize
it
go
for
the
opportunity,
but
also
do
what
you
need
to
do
to
figure
out
how
you
can
track
your
accomplishments,
etc.
So
that
you
can
be
a
regular
ongoing
advocate
for
yourself,
because
you
will
need
to
kind
of
help
bridge
that
little
bit
of
friction.
That's
still
in
the
industry
and
be
a
strong
advocate
for
yourself
and
as
much
as
you
can
do,
that
for
your
fellow
women,
people
of
color,
etc
as
well.
F
I
would
like
to
add
a
little
bit
more
to
amber's
yeah,
so
I
can
totally
relate
to
how
amber
put
it
all
in
nutshell,
like
you
know
how
an
imposter
syndrome
can
hold
you
back,
and
you
know
when
you
are
afraid
and
when
you're,
when
fear
takes
over,
then
how
is
it
like?
You
know,
well
prevent
your
abilities
to
to
or
your
potential
to
the
fullest
extent.
F
So
what
I
learned
was
like,
even
though
you
are
very
afraid,
or
you
know,
fearful
about
anything,
don't
hold
yourself
back
from
doing.
What
you
really
want
to
do,
you
know
is
what
I
learned,
even
though
you're
afraid
of
being
afraid,
is
okay,
but
still
go
ahead
and
do
what
you
want
to
do.
What
you
have
to
do
is
what
I
have
learned,
and
it
seems
to
work
for
me,
is
something
I
want
to
share.
B
B
All
right
so
we'll
just
move
on
to
the
next
question,
so
we
made
a
lot
of
progress,
but
there's
still
clearly
a
long
way
to
go
in
achieving
true
equality
in
the
tech,
industry
and
kind
of
in
general,
even
though
we've
done
a
great
job
here
at
replicated.
So
what
changes
would
you
like
to
see
in
the
industry
that
you
believe
would
move
us
closer
to
having
true.
G
Diversity
I
for
one,
I
have
a
couple
thoughts
on
this.
One
is
not
so
easy
to
interact,
but
I
think
one
of
the
biggest
challenges
I
do
see
in
the
tech
industry
still
around
diversity
is,
you
know
a
lot
of
opportunities
are
created
at
sort
of
the
inception
of
these
companies
right.
So
you
have
a
lot
of
startups
early
days.
G
That's
that
is
not
only
where
you
potentially
make
some
money,
but
more
importantly,
that
is
where
you
end
up
getting
a
lot
of
experience
and
growth
and
role
that
ends
up,
leading
you
to
sort
of
get
tapped
for
subsequent
roles
right.
The
tech
industry
is
a
very
small
community
in
the
end
and
you
a
lot
of
jobs
come
through
networking
for
people
you've
worked
with
before,
and
so
one
of
the
challenges
is
just
that
the
startup
industry
is
not
that
open
to
women.
G
People
of
color,
unfortunately,
and
then
it
sort
of
creates
this
self-sustaining
thing
where,
if
you
have,
you
know
10
white
men,
that
start
a
company
and
they
are
friends
and
have
previously
worked
with
several
other
white
men.
It's
like
they
are
more
likely
to
hire
those
friends
and
from
her
co-workers
right,
and
so
that's
a
big
challenge.
G
Yes,
as
a
hiring
manager,
I
can
tell
you
that
slows
things
down
sometimes,
but
we
end
up
getting
significantly
better
candidates,
better
hires
and
a
better
company
out
of
it
in
general.
So
I
would
encourage
companies
to
do
that
and
again,
if
you
are
looking,
ask
them
about
their
diversity
policies
and
what
they
do
to
increase
the
diversity
during
your
hiring
process.
That
is
not
a
bad
thing
and
if
it's
a
bad
thing,
you
don't
want
to
work
there
so
strongly
encourage
that.
D
D
So
when
I
joined
to
replicate
it,
I
recently
moved
to
america
and
my
english
wasn't
great
and
I
was
making
mistakes
in
every
sentence
and
I
never
felt
like
anyone
was
judging.
Instead,
everyone
here
was
really
friendly
and
willing
to
help
with
anything.
Was
that
related
to
work
or
not?
So
it's
really
welcoming
environment
for
everyone.
E
Yeah
one
thing
I
would
add
to
that
treva
and
while
it
it
may
not
be
quite
as
directly
in
line
with
how
we
move
closer
to
diversity,
but
in
a
in
an
effort
to
make
the
conversation
not
so
taboo.
I
think
that
one
thing
replicated
does
amazingly
well
that
I
I
personally
welcome
and
appreciate
here
is
that
conversations
even
difficult
ones
are
welcome
right.
Like
opinion,
everybody
has
an
opinion
and
everybody.
A
F
Sorry,
oh
no
go
ahead.
I
just
wanted
to
add
lns
right.
I
mean
I
just
joined
three
months
ago
and
my
onboarding
was
like.
I
know
awesome
like
every
everyone
in
the
team
was
very
helpful
and
you
know
I
initially.
I
was
a
bit
nervous.
So
can
I
do
this?
Can
I
ask
this,
but
then
after
some
time
I
felt
that
everyone
is
helping
you
to
succeed,
so
just
go
ahead
and
do
what
you
want
to
do.
A
A
Everybody
is
really
conscious
of
gender
pronouns
and
using
inclusive
language,
and
I
think
that's
really
important
and
really
significant.
I'm
really
proud
of
our
company.
For
that
you
know
we
don't
like
condemn
anyone
who
makes
mistakes,
but
everybody
is
very
careful
about
you
know
using
folks
or
y'all,
or
you
know,
inclusive
language,
and
I
think
that's
great.
G
I
would
just
add
the
the
other
thing.
Is
you
know
I
almost
four
months
here:
we've
hired
a
lot
of
diversity
recently
and
that
is
also
sort
of
a
fulfilling
thing
because
back
to
the
the
tech
industry
being
a
lot
of
networking
and
connections,
women
talk
to
each
other
and
they're
like
hey.
What
do
you
think
of
this
company?
You
know
like
how's,
it
kind
of
like
a
bro
network
or.
G
What's
it
like
there
and
it's
like
no,
this
company's
great
they're,
amazing,
and
so
by
paying
attention
to
diversity.
You
know
one
of
the
reasons
a
lot
of
companies
are
considering
staying
remote
permanently,
post
covid
is
because
it
greatly
expands
the
amazing
talent
you
can
get
throughout
the
country
and
when
you
start
actually
paying
attention
to
your
diversity
and
have
a
good
culture
like
everyone's
talking
about
here.
G
All
of
a
sudden
people
like
this
is
a
good
company
and
women
and
start
coming
out
of
the
woodwork
being
interested
in
in
the
company
right
and-
and
I
think
that's
a
that's
another
thing
that
replicates
done
is
it
has
focused
on
this
and
we've
hired
several
amazing
folks
and,
and
they
beget
several
amazing,
more
folks
right
and
so
this
is
it's
really
important
for
companies
to
pay
attention
to.
If
you
want
to
tap
all
this
great
talent.
B
Absolutely
and
so
statistics
show
that
more
diverse
teams
eventually
generate
more
income,
more
revenue.
So
that's
if
you're,
not
convinced
by
now
that
should
convince
you,
diversify
your
teams,
people
so,
okay,
so
we're
coming
up
on
on
time,
and
I
just
wanted
to
ask
you
all
one
last
question:
if
there's
anything
else
that
you
want
to
share
with
the
audience
like
any
anticodes,
any
advice
like
sing
a
short
song.
Anybody.
G
You
know
study
some
of
the
there's
a
lot
of
material
out
there
around
women
in
tech
and
women
in
leadership
and
a
lot
of
times.
You
aren't
encouraged
to
start
to
take
these
programs
or
courses
until
you're
already
in
leadership,
and
I
would
encourage
you
to
take
them
very
early
in
your
career,
so
learn
about
things
like
the
double
bind
and
and
strategies
that
women
can
adopt
in
order
sort
of
deal
with
the
sort
of
implicit
bias
that
exists
in
a
less
diverse
workplace.
G
You'll
not
only
learn
what
some
of
the
obstacles
you
might
run
into
in
your
career
are
but
you'll
learn
strategies,
you'll,
learn
techniques
to
help
make
not
just
women
but
men,
your
advocates
in
the
workplace
as
well.
So
I
would
strongly
encourage
you
to
study
women
in
leadership
and
women
in
tech.
Far
before
you
ever
actually
make
it
to
a
leadership
role.
A
Yeah
that
reminded
me
amber
another
tip.
I
give
people
that
are
looking,
maybe
into
transitioning,
to
tech
or
coming
into
tech
after
school
or
whatever.
Don't
just
look
at
big
companies
like
we're,
we're
a
relatively
small
startup
and
it's
really
advantageous
and
fun
to
work
for
smaller
tech
companies
too.
A
D
B
All
right,
so
this
has
been
absolutely
amazing.
Thank
you
all
for
joining.
Thank
you
so
much.
This
has
been
wonderful
and
I
really
appreciate
your
time
and
I
know
the
audience
appreciates
you
showing
up
to
and
speaking
of
our
audience.
Thank
you
all
for
joining
whether
you're
watching
the
live
or
you're
streaming
this
later
on.
Thank
you
so
much
for
being
here,
we
appreciate
you
all.
