She+ Geeks Out Podcast

Ooooh, we went there friends! Please meet Payal Sharma and Sheera Borstein from YWBoston, a nonprofit committed to eliminating racism and empowering women. We talked about identity, microaggressions, bias and more, and how complicated these issues are even when we're aware that bias exists and microaggressions are a very real thing. It's all a process! We talked with Payal and Sheera about their process and what YWBoston is doing to help end racism. For a complete schedule of events and info on all things She Geeks Out, visit www.shegeeksout.com!

Welcome to our last episode of the year! We'll be taking a little break, but will join you in 2018. Our last episode features Emily Green, who received her MSE in Computer Science in 1981 and ever since has led a completely bad ass life, running several companies and now coaches other CEOs. She's also an author and is on the board of several organizations. Emily has a warm heart, great stories, and is yet another wonderful human we were grateful to spend some quality time with. And speaking of gratitude, we talk about what we're grateful for as we head into Thanksgiving. We hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving too!

Noelle LaCharite is not just any technical program manager. She's the technical program manager for Amazon AND a mom of four AND founder of a few organizations that promote kindness and mindful leadership AND a recent owner of a farm because the rest wasn't enough. We were in awe of Noelle's story and we have some suspicions that she's a robot. We also talk about coat layers (hi seasonally appropriate November!), Washington DC, and Barry's Bootcamp in our intro. Hell week is here! Remember to visit www.shegeeksout.com!
