Women in tech face an uphill battle when it comes to receiving recognition for their hard work, progressing into leadership roles and being paid fairly - but they don't have to face these challenges alone. Below are 3 females in New York who have made it their mission to foster community amongst women at their company. ⭐ Jacqueline Hang @ Zocdoc After experiencing imposter syndrome when comparing herself to her male colleagues, Hong quickly learnt the important of seeking validation & support from her manager to succeed in her role. At Zocdoc, she joined the leadership council to create a community of women who can uplift and reassure one another. ⭐ Hadley Riegel @ Templafy Riegel is a lead for an employee resource group, which aims to promote a positive & inclusive work environment for women. Riegel has seen first hand the positive impact mentorship can have on an organisation's greatest asset - talent. Fostering a community amongst women provides access to the support and resources necessary to aspire and advance into leadership roles. ⭐ Meghan Kirby @ Meetup As a co-leader of Women of Meetup, Kirby provides resources to enhance women's leadership skills, foster community and creativity, and provide opportunities. Kirby understands the challenges women in tech face, so establishing a network of women fosters a supportive environment where women can share experiences, bond over interests and build skills.

Celebrating women is an easy and excellent use of everyone’s time, not just today but everyday. It makes me incredibly proud to work at an agency that has female recognition and power written into its DNA, with 74% of our team being legends (aka women). Hotglue values women’s progression and demonstrates opportunities for women to thrive, in equal measure to men. I shared a few of my thoughts around this years IWD theme in our blog and below is my latest list of female inspiration: A list of women that inspire me (in no particular order): - The suffragette’s for risking their lives to pioneer women’s financial freedom - My Mom for succeeding within a framework that prioritised men - My sister for showing me ways to navigate challenging situations to achieve desired outcomes - Erykah Badu for never wavering in re-telling honest female-centric stories - Julia Gillard who will not be lectured by men (not now, not ever) - Beyonce & Solange for shifting the narrative to celebrating women from critiquing women - My grandmother who despite her experiences and limited education, still chose to support and uplift women in every way possible. - Kate Bush & Sinead O’Connor for being controversial, brave and putting our bangers - Greta Thunberg for her incredible impact and resolved point of view from such a young age - My boss for always hustling while simultaneously taking the time to mentor, creating clearer paths for progression and supporting initiative.
