As a female entrepreneur with 20 years of experience in UX, development, and machine learning, I thought I had finally earned my place in the tech world. But after being rejected by the AI4 conference—not once, but three times—as a startup founder, a speaker, and an influencer, I was reminded that doing everything right still isn’t enough when you don’t fit the mold.
In this episode, I open up about what it feels like to be a woman in tech who takes up space—physically, professionally, and unapologetically—and still gets shut out. I share the pain of rejection, the invisible barriers that still exist, and the emotional toll of constantly having to prove you belong.
This isn’t a complaint. It’s a conversation we need to have.
If you’re a woman—or anyone—who’s ever felt excluded not because of your ability, but because of your identity, this episode is for you.
