A Seat at the Table: Building Inclusive Ecosystems
summary
Builds and runs Women Who Code Atlanta (4,000+ members), launches We Rise and Refactor Tech conferences, holds 500–600‑person events, and trains distributed leaders so one organizer doesn’t bottleneck progress. Emphasis is on listening to marginalized audiences, centering intersectionality (race, disability, gender, LGBTQ), rejecting sponsors that harm safety, and measuring impact not intent. Offers a repeatable framework: recruit leaders, document core values, pilot changes, collect feedback, iterate until harm is repaired.
