Memorable Quote: “...there is a group called Girls for Technology, and the whole goal of the organization is to expose, like, young women to like tech. And so I went with them on a visit to Google, in New York City, where we met with a group of black women that worked there. And one of the biggest points of conversation was like, how identity influences tech”. Christina, about a field trip while in school.
