The One and Only

I have walked into many rooms being the one and only. Sometimes it’s intimidating, other times, it’s lonely and uncomfortable. Have I thought about quitting? Many times! but I didn’t because I know I earned that seat and I have unique value to contribute. Instead of leaving, I became an integral part of those rooms. And I opened doors for others.

Being the only woman in a tech room can be tough, but we are equally talented. We may solve problems differently and in innovative ways. Our experiences matter. Take up space. Own it.

Every time you're present, you make room for others. You're changing the future. You're making a difference.
