“As the coding movement continues to grow, the common narrative of the white male geek as the predominant influencer on geek culture will erode.”

“We are not generally included in that narrative - people of color - definitely, women of color don't normally fit that narrative that has been built around the whole image and the whole story of the Silicon Valley.”

“As a little girl growing up in the Deep South, my mother told me that my future lay in my education. And she was right.”

“I'm this real creative guy who was really good at design and coding stuff, but wasn't that kind of manager. I spent too much time in self-doubt and limiting my impact because I was trying to be somebody I wasn't.”

“The first thing I tell women is this: They think that coding or being in any computer field is very solitary, very solemn, that you're just set off in a cubicle somewhere and it's not social and it's not creative. I would tell them that it's the furthest from the truth.”

“I already knew that I wanted to be involved in something that combined management and coding, so I wasn't coding all the time. And I don't want to be in a management position, where that's all I'm doing, and I'm not able to participate in the creation of the technology.”
