During the peak of unofficial San Francisco summer, we threw our annual summer party! Our SF team enjoyed an action-packed afternoon filled with pickleball, cornhole, rock climbing, bocce, basketball, and volleyball. Between the games, we shared plenty of laughs, great food, and drinks. There’s nothing better than spending an afternoon with teammates who genuinely enjoy each other’s company.
We're proud to celebrate #HispanicHeritageMonth and spotlight the stories of our Hispanic Heritage ERG members. Our final team member spotlight comes from Cristina Sanudo, a first-generation Mexican American. Cristina emphasizes the importance of sharing and learning about all Hispanic cultures, especially during Hispanic Heritage Month—and we couldn't agree more.

Continuing with our #HispanicHeritageMonth highlights, today we'll hear from our Hispanic Heritage ERG Lead, Susie Demetri. Thank you for sharing, Susie 💚
We recently kicked off #HispanicHeritageMonth at Upgrade, and we’re excited to highlight some of our team members who shared what this celebratory month means to them. First, we'll hear from Lezly Alvarez: "My parents, aunts and uncles, and grandparents were farm workers in the U.S., laboring in fields to provide for our family and create a foundation for future generations. Their dedication not only sustained us but also shaped our identity—one rooted in perseverance, dignity, and a strong work ethic. For me, Hispanic Heritage Month is a tribute to those family members who worked tirelessly, often in harsh conditions, with the dream of a better future for their children and grandchildren. It’s a reminder of how far we’ve come as a family—from the fields to new opportunities—and how their struggles paved the way for the lives we now lead."

Last week I had the joy of attending the Lesbians Who Tech & Allies Conference in New York! A few highlights from the week: 🔥 Sessions on the evolution of DEI in the workplace, generative AI-powered growth, and the challenges and opportunities that lie at the intersection of AI, innovation, and society. 🔥 Hearing personal stories and experiences from tech leaders like Rosanna Durruthy, Andrea Brimmer, Reshma Saujani, and Bozoma Saint John 🔥 Fireside chats with revered members of queer community who push boundaries in their own disciplines, like Lena Waithe, Billie Jean King, Shantell M. Martin, Sue Bird, Megan Rapinoe, Kara Swisher, and the list goes on. I’m proud to work for a company that invests in my community and sees the immeasurable value in conferences like this one—thank you Upgrade, Inc.!
