  • (0:00) Zuri Hunter - “We need everyone to be in tech. We need to make sure we have a supportive environment for people to grow and be valued… so if you’re hearing this, recognize those red flags and go where you are welcomed.”

  • (0:32) Eva Reid - “How do we build a community of women in technology that not only helps support us as women but helps us to be a larger part of the tech community, women and otherwise?”

  • (0:51) Leilani Battle - “I think it’s the community’s responsibility to support members of the community. So if we don’t reach out to each other, then we’re sort of failing everybody.”

  • (1:09) Eva Reid - “It's easy to say, ‘Hey let's do a happy hour,’ but it's another thing to make that consistent and to connect people and get people talking to each other and actually having some impact on the community. So I am also extremely proud of that.”

  • (1:35) Zuri Hunter - “What makes DC tech scene a really great place -- and actually a good place for diversity and inclusion -- is because they care, to some level. They care about having a diverse and inclusive community. And what I mean by this is that they support local organizations like DC FemTech, Women Who Code, Black Girls Code...”

  • (2:06) Alexis Ewing-Moody - “It’s definitely a testament to the DC tech community, and especially the underrepresented groups within the larger DC tech scene. I put it out there very quickly that I was looking again, and a lot of opportunities opened up for me.”
