I stepped down publicly during the last town hall because I was so frustrated with the way GDI refused to address the racism & discrimination the org was experiencing for months. #GDIStrike
Did you know that I gave @girldevelopit 6 years of my life? When I resigned due to their racist and discriminatory behavior you know what they said to me? Nothing. Not one single word. #gdistrike
"Op-ed: Here’s why we still need to talk about Girl Develop It: GDI is a virtual case study in how avoiding real discussions about race can damage a company or organization."... technical.ly/delaware/2019/0…
If you are like the rest of us and you no longer support GDI and the people that run this organization, then REMOVE your meetup membership immediately. #gdistrike

"Why has this story, which features dozens of women in tech leaders rebelling against a well-established organization, not attracted the attention of national tech media?" technical.ly/philly/2019/01/…
