Code, Courage, and Changing Systems: Redefining Who Belongs in Tech

In this episode of Her Path to Success, I sit down with Dr. Beekhuyzen, a technologist, entrepreneur, and global advocate for gender equity in STEM. We explore her personal journey into technology, what inspired her to found the Tech Girls Movement Foundation, and why technology is ultimately about solving human problems—not just writing code.Our conversation dives into digital literacy as a human right, the power of storytelling in reshaping who belongs in tech, and how inclusive systems—not just surface-level diversity—lead to better solutions. Dr. Beekhuyzen also shares advice for young people, especially girls, who want to launch tech-for-good initiatives, challenge stereotypes, and advocate for meaningful change in their communities around the world.
