“We don’t lack leadership potential—we lack systems that know how to recognize it when it doesn’t fit the mold.”
Shared this truth at today’s Chief in Tech launch by @AnnaRadulovski. Honored to be part of this powerful book. @WomenTechNet

November 1st. Two months left in the year!
Everyone is telling you to finish strong. I'm here to remind you that you don't have to.
You have nothing left to prove to make this year meaningful.
Here's to more living and less proving. ❤️
You can be kind and still say no.
You can be compassionate and still have boundaries. You can disappoint someone and still be a good person.
A question to sit with this week: Where are you saying yes just to avoid being called difficult?
#WomenInTech
For years I waited for someone to tell me I was ready to lead and ready to ask for more; nobody ever did, so I stopped waiting and gave myself the permission I kept hoping someone else would hand me. Your turn: what will you give yourself permission to do this week? #WomenInTech
You do not have to prove you belong. You get to build, lead, and take up space.
I wonder what would change if you moved through your work like you already knew that...

Grace Hopper’s cancellation cannot become brief outrage followed by silence.
Women in tech do not need more calls to be resilient. We need training, sponsorship, learning budgets, transparent data, and rooms that stay open when the stakes rise. #WomenInTech

Dismissing the glass cliff as victimhood just became a case study in why it matters. McKinsey removed a partner from his research leadership role after his LinkedIn posts on it. More in my piece: 5xminority.substack.com/p/th…

If you're the woman who answers the last email at 9 p.m. and tells everyone she's fine — this one's for you. New on 5xMinority: Ambition Needs Rest Too.

Opened Day Two of Meta's DECON 2026 talking about the human side of AI to a room of a thousand data engineers.
The questions afterward told me it landed.
Thank you to the Meta Data Engineering team for the invitation.

Women who promote their work get labeled arrogant. Women who stay quiet don't get promoted. The double bind is real. So is the cost of silence. But there's a third path.

I’m learning to notice when seeking advice becomes a way of postponing a decision I’m ready to make.
If you’re waiting for one more person to tell you you’re ready, maybe today you can take one small step and let yourself learn as you go.

Anandkumar’s decision is a powerful example of a woman technical leader choosing ownership and mission over a prestigious role.

As AI gets better at giving us information, I hope we stop measuring our value by how much information we can hold.
Knowing things will always matter, but knowing what to do with what you know matters more!

Me dijeron “rara” como si fuera un insulto. Yo aprendí a recibirlo como un cumplido.
Porque muchas veces ser rara solo significa que dejaste de reducirte para encajar, que elegiste tu propia voz y que ya no estás dispuesta a pedir permiso para ser tú.
Sí, soy rara.
Gracias!
Today’s leadership reminder: Interruptions end with you.
When someone cuts you off, keep speaking until you finish your thought. Try saying, “I’m almost done, then I want to hear your take.”

Progress is not measured by how full your calendar looks. It is measured by the quality of your thinking, the trust you build, and the people who grow because you took the time to lead them well.
#womenintech #5xminority
Power does not require hardness.
I can lead with empathy, pursue big goals, embrace femininity, and take up space without becoming someone I do not recognize.
Softness and ambition are not opposites. Neither are grace and authority.
We are allowed to be all of it!
A full calendar is not the same as meaningful progress.
Ask yourself: Who am I becoming through the work I’m doing?
