I've spent the last 10 years in tech. I'm trying to come up with a list of women who've truly advocated for me in my career, and my list is so much longer from the years before tech. In recent years, my woman-identified advocates have been from outside tech too.
Such an uncomfortable fact to sit with.
I've been really lucky to have so many high profile men/allies support me in my journey. They shared their platform with me and actively sponsor my work.
But where are the women? Is it because I never sought out community with women because I never felt like I belonged there?
I don't know.
