Women in Tech: Getting from #Me Too to #Me + Three
In the wake of the #MeToo movement, women are energized and empowered, but also angry, frustrated and still reeling. How we move past these events to close the gender & diversity divide is of the utmost importance. We must engage with men in a positive way, but more importantly, support each other. Let’s adopt the qualities that are the hallmark of great leaders and empower each other to move into our diverse future, together. The hope is that we can focus on making a powerful impact for those around us, creating a butterfly effect of positive change. We can pave the path forward with respect and grace, shedding the shackles of unconscious bias and obsolete social mores. The future isn’t just female – it’s all of us.
