I'm feeling feels!️
Another person stopped me in the hallway and said, "You don't remember me, huh?" My memory is bad, but he looked familiar. He said, "I've been at Google 7 years. On the day I interviewed, you stopped me in the hallway, talked to me, and told me not to be nervous, that I got this. That really helped!"
Someone else today told me that they completed a program for high school students that I exec sponsored, and it changed everything. They chose CS as a major. Now they're a PM!

There aren't a ton of Black people in tech. But I feel happy knowing that I helped some of them either find tech, or be successful in it.
The first person was going to pass his interview anyway.️ He didn't get smarter or more prepared in the hallway. But I'm glad that I helped him feel better!
The second person was going to be successful anyway.️ Maybe she wouldn't be a PM or in tech, but she is clearly a high performing, driven, collaborative person. But I'm glad that she enjoyed the program!
