Women in Tech: Speak on Expertise, Not Just Identity

In this episode, Michelle and Samah celebrate the incredible contributions of women in tech while addressing a persistent challenge: being invited to speak only about gender rather than expertise. From tech panels to conferences, women continue to face subtle biases, from discussions about lipstick to exclusion from technical sessions. We explore why women should be recognized for their knowledge, leadership, and technical skills, and how the tech community can create truly inclusive stages. Join us as we discuss representation, inclusion, and the power of letting women, and all underrepresented voices share what they know best.
