"1)It means connecting and positively identifying myself with 2 or more cultures. Who knows where I will go next?2) 2hearts is a great community because it goes beyond creating a space for like-minded people, it lifts and empowers INCLUSION as a solution in the long-term plan. I see it as more than increasing diversity in tech, to be honest.3) I cannot put a value on the sense of belonging I get here at the moment. In the end, the value for me is that a) I am not alone and b) a reminder that we are capable of great things. Diverse Talent that succeeds in Tech seems so far away from me that the community reminds me that we might not have had all the privileges but we can succeed. I am anchoring myself on this as I usually suffer from the pressure to overperform just to match my peers or be visible where I go.4) Senior Talent in tech that are approachable, a safe place to shoot my doubts, people willing to help, the idea that every contribution is important - there is no small help <3 5) a) so they can feel they belong; b) learn from others; c) so they can learn that they can also contribute, regardless of their seniority."
"Connecting with individuals from similar backgrounds through 2hearts has been empowering. I am incredibly grateful to be part of such a diverse community where I feel like I belong."
