“This notion of staying in your own lane - close your ears to that. You can get into any lane that you want to. That’s about growth and opportunity. And when people tell you to stay in your own lane, they’re really trying to suppress the gifts that you’ve been given. You have the opportunity to explore, and that’s why they have numerous lanes, is so that you can pass when someone won’t let you by.” - Jacque Rushin
I usually write about K-12 education, especially relating to girls and computer science. But I have also written a few stories about my daughter's experiences as a computer science major in college and her job interviews. We have much work to do before women in technology are able to excel. Especially women of color.
I think about that every day.
I think about that every day.
