Today, as we commemorate International Women's Day, we are reflecting on what it means to #InspireInclusion. ? Nearly 5 years ago, Shine & Rise was born out of the desire for more connection and community in the largely male dominated world of tech. ? ?? Every day since, we have been inspired and emboldened by incredible humans in our community and beyond who are making strides toward inclusion and challenging us all to think differently about inclusion and inclusive spaces. We are eager to continue learning from all of you as we strive toward our vision of advancing diverse perspectives and cultivating an inclusive community. IWD is just one moment of many we take to reflect on where we’ve been, where we are, and where we are going - as individuals, as women, and as an organization.?? ?Come learn and celebrate with us all year round! https://lnkd.in/ehnqn3zY #IWD #IWD2024
