THE STORY OF THE TREES
TECHNOLOGY SHAPES OUR DAILY LIVES
BUILDING SOFTWARE IS AN ACT OF REPRESENTATION
UNDERSTANDING OURSELVES
WHITE CIS SOCIALLY ACCEPTABLE WEIGHT & HEIGHT ABLE-BODIED MIDDLE-CLASS
WE CAN ONLY UNDERSTAND OUR RESPONSIBILITY IF WE UNDERSTAND OUR
PRIVILEGES
We leave scepticism behind when confronted with evidence about ourselves.
(Pete Warden) “
DO WE SEE THE EVIDENCE?
DO WE SEE THE PROBLEM?
Being a woman who happens to tech is another shirt
in my closet that I’ll never wear because it doesn’t fit, and won’t throw out because that feels wrong. “ (Ash Huang)
PEOPLE HAVE TO CHOOSE: BETWEEN PUTTING THEIR CAREER AT RISK
OR LIVING WITH CONSTANT ABUSE
PRIVILEGE = THE LUXURY TO IGNORE THE EXPERIENCES OF UNDERREPRESENTED
PEOPLE IN TECH
THE TECH INDUSTRY IS BUILT ON PRIVILEGE
Power is the ability to define reality and to convince
other people that it is their definition. (Dr. Wade Nobles) “
SOFTWARE IS NOT PROVIDING A CHOICE ENABLING HARASSMENT IGNORING PEOPLE
SEXIST UNDERMINING FREE WILL VIOLATING BOUNDARIES ALLOWING ABUSE ENDANGERING PEOPLE MAKING PEOPLE SICK

enough.” WE NEED TO WORK THROUGH BIASES (Rachel Thomas)
03 WE NEED TO KNOW OUR HISTORY AND EDUCATE OURSELVES
04 WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND DIVERSITY “We do not have
the luxury of building social movements that are not intersectional.” (Kimberlé Crenshaw )
“It is totally and entirely possible that you might have
nothing to add.” (Leigh Alexander) 05 WE NEED TO SHUT UP
06 WE NEED TO LISTEN TO AND AMPLIFY OTHER VOICES
07 WE NEED TO GIVE
08 WE NEED TO FORMALISE
09 WE NEED TO USE OUR PRIVILEGE FOR GOOD
10 WE NEED TO WORK ON BEING ALLIES
WHO DO WE WANT TO BE? WHAT WILL BE OUR
LEGACY?
IT’S TIME THAT EACH OF US WITH EVERY WORD AND
EVERY LINE OF CODE TAKES A STAND
