Reflecting on yesterday's empowering event, "Margins to Mainstream: How Underrepresented Communities Are Shaping Tech Innovation," organized through a collaborative effort by Out in Tech, getWITit - Pittsburgh, COhatch, and Colaeb. Though I was fashionably late due to a women's golfing training course that holds great significance to me, the energy and insights shared were truly invigorating! The buzz and enthusiasm in the air were palpable. It was inspiring to hear from Meesha Gerhart moderating a stellar panel featuring Manny Larcher, Jim Gibbs, nina marie barbuto, and Staceylyn Machi. The collective expertise and perspectives showcased the profound impact of underrepresented communities in shaping tech innovation. Events like these underscore the importance of diversity and inclusion in driving meaningful progress within the tech industry. This is why I do what I do and I'm so passionate about having these conversations. I'm grateful to have been part of such a vibrant community and look forward to more opportunities to engage and contribute. Always so fun to network with the best: Robyn Roux, Sunnie Fenk, MS, PMP, Erica Tamburo, Stefanie L.
