Communities & individuals most affected by #climatechange are often left out the larger conversation of participation and solutions. @_Vaishnavi_R spoke to climate activist @SorengArchana about the role that women & Dalit youth play in conservation

'Cindy Gallop, founder of “social sex” site @makelovenotporn and a founding member of @womenofsextech, a network of women working in the #sextech space, adds female founders have a much tougher time raising capital than men.' @timmpsmith @mparts_ @Siftedeu sifted.eu/articles/rise-…
“@Roman in 4 years has raised $897m and is valued at $5bn. The enormous irony is that has enabled Roman to expand into women’s health with @hellorory and to build out an overarching healthcare platform called @ro,” Gallop says.' @Siftedeu sifted.eu/articles/rise-… #sextech
“Meanwhile female-founded @ModernFertility in the same 4 years has only been able to raise the paltry sum of $22m. @ro has just acquired Modern Fertility for the pathetic sum of $225m.' Me to @timmpsmith @mparts_ @Siftedeu on investors missing out sifted.eu/articles/rise-… #sextech

Last week, I had to have surgery for an ectopic pregnancy. I’ve felt every emotion possible. Rage, guilt, hope, grief... but I shouldn’t have had to feel so lonely. The lack of information & support is astounding. Whoever needs to hear this: you are not alone. 
Fun fact! Did you know that algorithms are so sophisticated that you can obsessively search for “miscarriage” for 6 weeks and STILL get maternity wear ads a week after surgery? DO YOU THINK A WOMAN DESIGNED THAT CODE? #FemTech this is not a drill.
Don’t tell me you’re sorry for my loss. Get mad and get organized about the lack of inclusion and human-centricity in tech. Build a world with more empathy. And above all, lift the silence so no one ever feels they are going through something like this alone .

@WomenWhoCodeDC @svthmc Second, I read a ton of newsletters. I can read them on any device. They’re timely. They give me information in digestible bits. Everything I follow: (3/8)
