On this International Nonbinary People's Day, AnitaB.org wants to recognize, honor, and celebrate all the nonbinary people in our lives. While nonbinary people in tech want to upskill in their careers, they may not get the same opportunities as those part of the gender binary. We want to continue to shine a light on these issues and continue our work to a more equitable tech industry, and world. #nonbinarypeoplesday #nonbinaryweek

If you've wondered who Anita B and Grace Hopper were: Anita Borg was an American computer scientist celebrated for advocating for women’s representation and professional advancement in tech. She founded the Institute for Women and Technology and co-founded the Grace Hopper Celebration. Hopper was one of the first women to receive a doctorate degree in mathematics from Yale University and became a U.S. Navy rear admiral best known for her trailblazing contributions as a computer scientist and mathematician. She worked on the Mark I, II and III computers, helped create the first compiler for computer languages, and was the first female recipient of the National Medal of Technology in 1991. #getup #startup #LIFT #womenintech #inclusivetech
