🖋️ "The pen is mightier than the sword" ~ Edward Bulwer-Lytton. Not only as a form of expression but as a way to nurture the growth of a business or community. Storytelling has always been central to Indigenous (First Nations, Métis, Inuit) ways of knowing, passing down wisdom, traditions, and resilience. I once hesitated to share personal stories. However, embracing storytelling as part of a larger purpose has become an opportunity for connection and meaningful dialogue. Doing so has already started to connect more Indigenous Tech Professionals while hopefully inspiring future generations. It has also expanded our network, reaching non-Indigenous co-conspirators committed to advancing opportunities for Indigenous innovators. We're building and sharing our stories today to create pathways for future generations within the tech industry. I'm seeing now more than ever that sharing stories can bring things to light, build meaningful connections, and drive engagement, opening doors for growth and opportunity. How are you telling your and your company's story? What stories out there need to be heard? #GrowingTogether #IndigenousTech #Collaboration #Opportunity #Innovation #BusinessGrowth

🌟 Only a few weeks left to register for the TechDiversity Awards 2024 🌟 Dr Ruwangi Fernando's words resonate deeply as we continue to strive for inclusivity and representation in tech workforces. It's imperative that we embrace diverse perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences to drive innovation and create a more equitable future. Last year's TechDiversity Awards were nothing short of inspiring, especially hearing from thought leaders like Dr. Ruwangi Fernando, Founder/Director at STEM Sisters and a two-time TechDiversity Award Winner. Dr. Fernando shared invaluable insights on the importance of diversity in the tech industry. "Diversity impact is crucial and important because we need to make sure that everyone is represented and not everyone is the same," Dr. Fernando emphasised. "Our requirements, challenges, and how we see the world are so different." Let's keep championing diversity and inclusion in the tech sector and beyond! 💡✨ Join us at this year's awards, get your tickets before they sell out https://lnkd.in/eHfdxTDu #TDAwards #2024TDAwards #DiversityEquityInclusion

Today, we shine a light on another one of our #EquityChecklist pillars, derived from our GET Champions intervention in partnership with Radical Partners, which focuses on Transparent Communication. At GET Cities, we prioritize open and honest dialogue to foster an inclusive tech environment. Our approach to transparent communication involves: - Regularly update supervisors or accountability partners on equity and inclusion initiatives and progress. - Sharing success stories showcasing our inclusion efforts' positive impact, bolstered by our review and assessment practices. Together, let's commit to transparent communication as a cornerstone of our journey toward equity and inclusion in tech. By sharing updates and successes, we can amplify our collective efforts and create a more inclusive industry for all.

Happy Independence Day! True independence in tech isn't just about working from anywhere; it's about the freedom to dream, innovate, and lead without barriers.    Imagine a tech world where women aren't just present but are pioneers, trailblazers, and visionaries. This is the freedom we must strive for.   ✅ Freedom to challenge the status quo.  ✅ Freedom to break stereotypes.  ✅ Freedom to shine & define.   Use this day as a reminder and a call-to-action: Build a future where every woman in tech has the support, opportunity, and recognition she deserves.

It’s #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth! As the #tech sector grows, it’s vital to include Native voices in decision-making. Check out AISES and #KaporFoundation’s report on Native representation in tech. As contributor Tiffany Smith noted “Through this report, we have an opportunity to visualize our people's contributions to #tech careers & ways we bring our own Indigenous knowledge systems to this work."
