Help Me Attend the Lesbians Who Tech Summit!
As many of you know, I was accepted into the University of Texas at Austin's Coding Bootcamp earlier this year. Recently, I learned that I also won an Edie Windsor Coding Scholarship from the Lesbians Who Tech organization! Scholarships will be officially presented at LWT's annual summit in New York City at the end of September. In order to attend, I need to raise money for a plane ticket, hostel stay, and conference registration, plus a little extra for meals, so I've started this fundraiser to do just that!
In addition to receiving the scholarship, attending the summit will allow me to meet other queer women in tech (and allies) and learn more about the industry I'm trying to break into. The things I'd learn and connections I might make could be invaluable not just for landing a future job but also for building a support network within a field that has a reputation for shutting women out. I am so incredibly excited to be pursuing this career change, and being able to attend the summit would mean so much. I'd be thrilled and incredibly grateful if you're able to contribute anything at all, and either way, you can also help by sharing this fundraiser.
Thank you so much for taking the time to check out my fundraiser! :) <3
