Yesterday at an event a woman told me that my bump was in her way I shared that I sadly could not leave it at home 🙄
Have you noticed how Meghan Markle ensures her baby bump takes centre stage? express.co.uk/life-style/lif…

excited for @wnttathis. vrlps.co/6QVH9VA/cp when we started @WomenAndTech (many years ago) we looked around for content that was on point AND well-designed, and did not see much if any. so glad to see this landscape has changed. such a needed voice, get it @skstock.

If you’re a parent in tech, a company employing parents, or are thinking about family planning yourself, this one’s for you. Written & researched by the amazing @whatsupanna @NoraJKS & @amandabella, designed by yours truly & supported by @JoinLeague + more parentingplaybook.ca – at San Francisco, CA
Fascinating interview w/Martha Ladley by @WomenAndTech. I like the bit about how expensive mistakes were in pre-mac graphics and how that suppressed experimentation. Also a very good answer to the how-can you-be-a-woman-in-tech-and-a-mother question. womenandtech.com/interview/m…
