Celebrating #AAPI – Women Who Code
Written by WWC Team
Being part of changing the tech industry tomorrow begins with making the decision to invest time, effort, and passion today. Women Who Code is fortunate to have a global community that includes diverse women technologists. This month as we celebrate AAPI Heritage Month in America and Canada, we shine the light on technology contributions by women of Asian and Pacific Island descent.
We value the insights, experiences, dedication to DEI, and innovative solutions each one of the women demonstrate in corporate spaces and our community. Our board members, Fellows, Directors, Leads, Evangelists, volunteers, and members show up ready to change the narrative at every board meeting, dev conference, podcast recording, workshop, lightning talk, and bookclub.
Enjoy these videos, blogs, and podcasts full of Asian and Pacific Islander women raising their voice today to create a safe, inclusive space in tech tomorrow.
