Warning: Some swearing in this episode

Explanation: At the very end of the episode, Britt shares that this episode will air on her dad's birthday, and Alyssa references "the dead dad's club." This phrase is one Britt and Alyssa have used since they were teenagers to deal with their grief. It is not meant to be flippant or offensive.

In this episode of brAVe [space] Britt and her long-time friend Alyssa Meadows discuss their experiences as young women in male dominated technology industries. Alyssa details her experience as a whistleblower. They also discuss isolation vs. community, microaggressions, imposter phenomenon, Alyssa's "Every Woman I Know" project, the battle of the "gear heads" vs. the "creatives" and so much more! If you are able, please listen to the end so you hear our action items.

Please take a lot of deep breaths after this episode, and get ready to move forward--together. We persist. Through our trauma, grief, and the injustices against us-- we persist.
