So excited that I'll be running my first half marathon in April 2025, and it's for a cause that is very close to my heart. 🏃♂️🏅 I've signed up for the London Landmarks Half Marathon to raise funds for codebar, a charity dedicated to fostering diversity in the tech community. 💻🌟 About codebar: codebar is on a mission to make the tech industry more inclusive by providing free, regular programming workshops for minority groups. These workshops empower underrepresented individuals to gain the skills they need to thrive in the tech world. By supporting codebar, we are helping to create a more diverse and equitable tech industry for everyone. Why this matters: The tech industry has long struggled with diversity, and organizations like codebar play a crucial role in changing that narrative. Through education and community support, they are opening doors for many who have been historically excluded from this field. How you can help: I'm aiming to raise a minimum of £1000 for codebar. Your support can make a huge difference! Share: Spread the word by sharing this post with your network. The more people know about this cause, the bigger impact we can make together. Join: If you're in London, come cheer us on during the marathon or join codebar’s community to volunteer and make a direct impact. Running this half marathon is not just a personal challenge, but a chance to support a movement towards greater diversity and inclusion in tech. I’m incredibly grateful for your support as I embark on this journey. Let’s make a difference together! 💪🌍 Here's how you can contribute: https://lnkd.in/eeM3THGu Any amount, big or small, can help me reach my goal. #HalfMarathon #Fundraising #DiversityInTech #Codebar #LondonLandmarksHalfMarathon #Inclusion #TechForGood

We need Girls in Tech, Inc. When xAI began last year, the company had 12 employees—all men. In May, Meta named four execs to sit on their new Tech Advisory Group—all men. In December, OpenAI had four people on its board—all men. Diversity drives innovation. And increases the likelihood that technological advancements will be equitable and inclusive. The lack of women and girls in tech poses very real and significant risks, particularly in the context of generative AI. Girls in Tech, Inc. is an organization that has empowered women and girls around the globe to be agents of change in the tech industry for almost 20 years. I have personally been involved with the organization for 7 years. I know Adriana Gascoigne. I have seen her and her team build a community of more than 110,000 women and girls in 35 communities around the world. I have witnessed the care and compassion with which they create opportunities for women and girls that expand their capabilities and confidence in tech. Now, we need your support. For men and women who support girls in tech and, more broadly, in business, please contribute - donate to the mission, join the community, and/or share this post. No contribution is too small. Thank you! #girlsintech #diversity #DEI #tech #innovation #femalefounder #womenentrepreneurs #menintech #venturecapital #vc #startups #plugandplay

❤️📈👏 Day #2 of #AFPICON is over. But it feels like day 15 (in a good way). Here are my highlights. 📌 GiveSmart App lead a great presentation about how nonprofits are spending the entire year fundraising, not just at the end of the year. Thinking about fundraising outside of the typical end of year cycle, how can nonprofits create opportunities to engage their constituencies in unique, creative and personalized ways. 📌 I served at the #AFP Idea information HUB to represent the pirinciples of inclusion, diversity, equity and access. Fundraisers work with a wide variety of constituencies. Many of us come from places that have not exposed us to the beauty and depth of all the experiences that exist on this Earth. We must be kind, open and welcoming to all. 📌 One of the most mind-blowing presentations centered around moving from a place of scarcity to an environment of ABUNDANCE. Nonprofits do so much good work. It is not a rat race to the bottom. This is a world of plenty where fundraisers have millions of opportunities to raise the money they need to accomplish their missions. Change your framework and seek abundance. One more day left and happening now. Check all you beautiful people tomorrow. 🥰

No-code citizen development platforms are changing the game by enabling NGOs to create custom programs at a fraction of the cost. These platforms remove technical barriers, allowing anyone to build solutions that perfectly match their needs. This means NGOs can focus on what they do best - serving their communities - and leave the coding to the platform. #nocode #citizendevelopment #Nonprofit

CALLING IN MY NETWORK!! After the murder of George Floyd, so many companies and funders were grabbing every opportunity to throw money at nonprofits like Code2040 to prove that they "aren't racist." Well, it's been 4 years, and with the attempted erasure of DEI and initiatives associated with it- those companies have recoiled back into their racist and oppressive ways. Black and Brown folks continue to be underrepresented, dehumanized, and oppressed both in their daily livelihood and their work. Especially in tech spaces, we need Black and Brown people more than ever. Code2040 is committed to "figuring it out," the same way people like us are always expected to —but our mission remains the same. We are activating and mobilizing the largest racial equity community in tech. Our goal: to dismantle the structural barriers that keep our Black and Latinx emerging tech leaders from leading the innovation economy. To my network, I invite each of you to consider donating to our current goal of raising 50k in 50 days! If donating is not accessible right now, a simple share or repost can go a long way. We at Code2040 send appreciation in advance as you all help us mobilize and support the next generation of Black and Latinx tech leaders! Ain't nobody got us but us. https://lnkd.in/epqJqtPD #nonprofit #racialequity #blackintech #tech #fundraising
