Vision statement:
I'm working with an international community of women and allies in the technology industry to build a repository of resources, tools, advice and community connections so that women in tech can not just survive their careers but flourish, access leadership and promote positive cultural change in industry.

Drilled with what you do, I think from this project, a greater proportion of tech women in developing countries specifically Africa will benefit enormously from this.

Looking forward to seeing how this platform shapes. Wondering if it will be similar to "women who code" online community

Hello @arc64. I really like your project! I think we should talk at some point, as I am playing with similar ideas. One issue I am struggling with is identifying the means for creating "community" between tech workers. Should it be a meetup, a blog, a podcast, etc. In your case, what do you have in mind?
