August 11: Women in Tech Weekly Issue 71
In Partnership with my Self-Worth Strengthening Affirmations and Gratitude Prompts

New Project 🌟
Community has been at the centre of everything I do for years now ❤️ I think that notion of belonging, support and sisterhood is the best way to raise everyone’s level. It’s the best way to generate ideas, solve problems and create better, more inclusive products and services. It raises everyone’s level!
I’ve been itching to create a community for women in STEM for years now and it’s time to do that. I feel like it’s now or never! Watch this space for upcoming updates 🥰 If you’d like to be the first to know when it launches, please express your interest by filling out the form below!
Let me know when the community launches!
I’m pausing Featured posts as I’m focusing more of my energy on building this. I hope that the result will help you find and connect with even more strong, inspiring, like-minded, stereotype-breaking women in STEM!
Celebrations 🥂🎉
Alenna successfully concluded one of the challenges she organized at her organization’s hackathon!
In her own words:
“From being the first remote hire to the Digital Innovation team of ADB, I led the first ever virtual hackathon using our open innovation platform to crowdsource ideas and
solutions. The specific challenge that just concluded is under the energy department which is my background! I never could have imagined that I would be able to merge all my skillset and passion in one place. For me, that’s a big breakthrough! “
Alenna’s profile is private, so I’m not able to embed her post 🙂
Natasha gave a talk to the Google AI residents!
In her own words:
“I gave a talk to the Google AI residents about predicting breast cancer using AI. This work was published in the beginning of the year in Nature.”
