Think, Stick and just go
I just finished watching the Skater Girl movie and have penned down my thoughts.
First of all, it’s really an inspiring movie. It focuses on the story of a poor village girl, who initially had no idea what to do in her life and soon introduced to the world of skateboarding by a foreigner. But she faces a rough road ahead but never gives up and follows her passion.
It really reminded me of my journey. Being a small-town girl, I faced resistance at every point in my life. But I never gave up. Even now, a lot of people do not appreciate my work, being a part of a male-dominated industry.
I too feel the scarcity of women in the tech world. To date in my career, I have been to startups where I was the only female developer. It might be due to the gender stereotype and lack of a talent pool. A very few women prefer or rather allowed to explore technology-related fields. We really need to change our mindset.
“Women bring a lot to a tech company — different perspectives and skillsets, tech companies with more women are more successful and it’s a hot industry to be in, good-paying jobs with lots of diversity in focus (dev, cybersecurity, ops, etc. ) and opportunity. Don’t allow yourself to be intimidated by a room full of men.”
Last but not least, I just wanted to say — Give wings to your dreams
Few lines from the movie :
“I have touched the pinnacle,
I have realized my worth,
Now that my feet have opened up as wings , why shouldn’t I weave,
The dreams my eyes have seen, My complicated life I have to resolve,
The trust I have in me has to manifest,
I will touch the sky, immersed in joy,
I have taken flight. I know sun is gonna shine on me”
