DE&I has become a dirty word in the last few months so Fathia T. and Mayase J. decided to have a conversation with Luli Adeyemo that will have you rethinking difference and its power. Luli has been championing change even before she knew she was doing it in her teens as the first black female BMX world champion. Gems from this interview include: 💡It is everyone's responsibility to bring about change 💡We all need a chance to benefit from Tech because its impact is limitless but limited by a lack of representation. 💡Measuring DE&I will move it from a conversation and the first thing that gets de-prioritised when the market softens to Actionable impact and value Listen to the full episode - https://lnkd.in/gVrRfVwH Luli is also the Director of #TechDiversity Awards which will be held on 23 May at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Melbourne. Tech Diversity is a social enterprise committed to amplifying Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DE+I) and achieving a culture of belonging, through conversation, collaboration and action for people who work in technology. 🎟️Grab your tickets from https://lnkd.in/eHfdxTDu Tech Diversity is inviting all organisations from any sector with a tech workforce to express your interest in being part of the Tech Reflects study https://lnkd.in/g9h4vgyR.

Our intent is to level the playing field through training, education, networking, and mentorship with the support of allies, partners, sponsors, and most importantly our global members.

Here's what we got from our Women in Tech: Building an Equitable World panellists: On imposter syndrome: - Own your visibility and own your voice - It is okay to learn on the job, put in the hard work - Be aware that this is a lack of confidence or the imposter-speaking On creating inclusive space: - We should continue to create spaces where women are empowered and mentors are easily accessible - Build flexibility in job design. Technology is enabling more women to work from home and become vital voices in construction, manufacturing and other industries We continue to celebrate the incredible achievements of Women in Tech! But also acknowledge the work that remains in creating a truly inclusive Tech industry. Let's all commit to supporting initiatives that empower and dismantle barriers. #WomenInTech #BITAus #iwd2024 Fathia T. Devon D.
