🔎 LinkedIn Audit: Suppressing Women?
I'm running a live experiment on professional visibility. I temporarily removed the "she/her" pronoun label from my LinkedIn profile 3 days ago.

Initial Result: My average post reach immediately jumped from ~3,000 to over 6,000 impressions. That's a 100% increase overnight.

This sudden spike creates a strong hypothesis: the presence of gender labels was acting as a suppression factor, or their absence is creating an algorithmic boost for distribution.

We must audit the unseen structures (algorithms) that govern visibility. Our goal is to ensure equitable reach for all voices.

Tracking data for 10 more days. Have you seen similar shifts?

Let's discuss fairness in digital distribution.

What an incredible time we had at WordCamp US 2023!

It was a privilege to support underrepresented voices at this fantastic event and to connect with so many inspiring individuals. One highlight was catching up with the remarkable Mary Baum, whose insights continue to drive positive change in the tech community. 🙌
