TechSecChix
I remember the first time I thought about getting into the tech industry and one thing that kept me from pursuing that dream was the fact that I felt that it was a male-dominated field. I am not surprised to say that it is, but there are many women like myself that are fighting to find there way in and make a name for themselves. This group aims to support all women in tech whether they are gay women, black women, trans women, latina women, or any other nationality or identification out there. We are providing a safe space for women to learn and find resources from others to grow within their careers. I believe that if women have the means and support to succeed, they will almost always be successful.
