I was meaning to get this out a few days ago, for the 30 day reminder. Still more than enough time to check the calendar and block off the day for this community BBQ.
I would also like to let you all know about a local multi-community #bbq. Please just us all for food and drink in August. Join forces with nine of Colorado’s top cybersecurity groups for an epic community picnic! Connect with folks from Colorado=Security, @cloudsecurityalliance #CSA, DenSec, (ISC)² Denver, #ISACA, #LIFT, #OWASP, #Popcykol, and #WiCyS for an afternoon of food, networking, and fun. All are welcome! 🗓️ Date: Sat, August 23, 2025 ⏰ Time: 11:30 AM - 3:30 PM 📍 Where: Berkeley Lake Park, Denver Let's build community beyond the keyboard. See you there!

Excuse me, #WiCyS is being hosted in Nashville next year? Where it's like not even safe for trans women to legally or physically exist? That's... um. It's a thing. I genuinely appreciate a lot of stuff they do, but I'm flummoxed.

So #WiCyS announced they're hosting their 2024 event in Nashville, TN. They've sent a clear signal that equity and inclusion are only words. When push comes to shove and dollars are on the line, they'll choose the dollars over their own membership.
The cruel irony here is that I've been part of their Equity Advocacy Committee for the last few years. We've had to fight tooth and nail to get our voices heard within the org. This latest decision, clearly made without consideration or care for how it would impact the inclusivity of their event, signals again that Equity and Inclusion are words that are only being selectively applied.
I'm sad, I'm hurt, I'm disappointed, and I'm disgusted. Of all the states in the US they could have chosen for this event, they would have had to try hard to find a worse choice than the one state more than any other (even Texas) that has launched an all out assault on womens', LGBTQ in general, and transgender human and civil rights.
I'm hopeful they correct course. More than that, I'm hopeful they open a discussion so they can learn and grow and do better. I've reached out to their founder, their executive director, and another member of their leadership to try to make this happen. We'll see how that goes, but I'm not optimistic.

Last night I mentioned to my husband some passing comment about women in tech and inequality and my nine year old daughter asked me why I would be treated differently working with computers just because I'm a girl.
I did my best to explain to her some of the bias I have faced as a woman working in tech - and also how much support I've gotten for the same.
She was especially confused when I tried to talk about how some well meaning people are trying to be supportive when they say things like "yeah but it's so much better than it used to be" but how that isn't really that helpful since it's still problematic.
And then I told her ultimately, despite the challenges, I wouldn't trade my skills for any other job, and that she should go into tech too. Support young women in tech. Support women in tech! Encourage more women to get into tech!!
