What does it really take to grow and thrive (not just survive) in tech❓

✖️ It takes a curiosity that never stops.
✖️ It takes courage to create what doesn’t exist yet.
✖️ It takes the ability to bend without breaking and still move forward with purpose.
✖️ It takes showing up for others while still investing in yourself.
✖️ It takes asking hard questions about the future of #AI and choosing to shape it rather than fear it.
✖️ It takes knowing that PEOPLE LIKE YOU belong here.

That’s what we explored at Zwarte vrouwen voor Technologie’s event: “How to Grow in IT” 💡🌱
