One of these days I'd like to not have a O(n!) date problem.

But that date is light-years away.

There’s a strange dichotomy between championing diversity and being a miniority member discussing diversity.

When we have these diversity conversations, asking a member within the minority position about their struggles is asking them to be vulnerable in a situation where they are probably just holding onto enough confidence to get through the day.

I often do not pay attention that I may be the only female in the room, but I’m privileged to do that because I have a wonderful supportive community around me. Other people aren’t so lucky.

These conversations are better framed to how we can support each, combat our own bias, and be better. Not continuing point out the negatives.
