Time just keeps on flying by! September is almost over, and I haven’t done any Monthly Reflections since my first one in June! So here’s one for July, August, and September… Basically Summer 2017!

In early August, I had the privilege of being sponsored by Diversability to attend and report on TechInclusion, which is an international Tech Conference focused on improving Diversity and Inclusion in the Tech Industry.
