Welcome to our May newsletter (yes, a few days into June, we know), where we dive into the vibrant world of Underrepresented in Tech! 🎉
Last month, we celebrated the incredible voices and stories of those who are breaking barriers and making waves in the tech industry. 🌍✨ Get ready for some inspiring tales and tips on championing diversity and inclusion in our tech spaces and the World. May was a month to remember!
✨ Here’s one of my favorite things from the past month.✨
Last month, I discovered World Day for Cultural Diversity on 21 May, and it’s such a gem! 🌍✨ It shines a light on how intercultural dialogue is key to peace and sustainable development, and it also highlights the cultural sector’s awesome economic contributions. However, it’s surprising that this sector isn’t getting the love it deserves in public policies and international cooperation! 💬🎨
From Harrison Butker’s anti-feminist, anti-LGBTQ+, anti-abortion, anti-IVF, anti-surrogacy…well anti-almost-anything-he-doesn’t-agree-with speech to the men who don’t take no for an answer in DMs (and worse), Samah and Michelle not only understand…

Let’s chat about something super important: using your platform responsibly. 🎤 Imagine you’ve got this magical megaphone that can reach millions (cue the echo effect). With great power comes great responsibility, right? Famous folks and influencers, listen up because your words have more power than the rest of us! Whatever you say online stays there forever.
It’s like the internet has a photographic memory that never forgets. You might think that a spicy tweet or controversial post is just a fleeting moment of fun, but trust me, it’s more permanent than a tattoo. So, let’s keep things positive and fun! After all, the internet is a big place with room for many good vibes. Spread joy, share your passions, and uplift others. Think of it as leaving a trail of digital sunshine for others to find. ☀️
Speaking of good vibes, I’ve got some exciting news! Michelle and I are overjoyed because we will be at WordCamp Europe 2024 in Turin! 🎉🍕 imagine it: a fantastic gathering of tech enthusiasts, all buzzing with excitement in the stunning city of Turin. It’s going to be epic. We’ll be diving into the world of WordPress, soaking up knowledge and, of course, indulging in the best gelato and pizza Italy has to offer. 🍦🍕 join us for an unforgettable adventure of learning, laughter, and (hopefully) not getting lost in translation. 😄
So, to wrap things up, remember to use your platform wisely and spread some love and light out there. And if you are around, come say hi in Turin. It will be a blast, and I can’t wait to see you there! 🚀✨
