@omojumiller @DeepIndaba @Khipu_AI It gets better Omoju. Here is a slide I often use these days - we can start with a simple idea that grows in joyful ways we never would have expected: Groups across the world taking responsibility for their communities and thinking of AI for themselves. 🤩✊🏾

[Mo @Nthabimogashoa]

Importance of women in code and AI. @WomenThinkCode #ML4WomxnByWomxn

[WiMLDS JHB @WiMLDS_JHB]

For lunch, we're doing round table sessions 🤩🌻

The idea is each table has a topic and people join them for lunch 🍱🍽️

The energy is so wholesome 💕🔥✨

How do we expect machine to be made for us if those are the ratios

[WiMLDS JHB @WiMLDS_JHB]

And the person who came on board to own this event & make it happen @tamati_biskit - from weekly meetings to content. Here she is detailing the history of women in computing, gender bias in ML and the minority burden women and people of colour experience 💪💕✨🧠

Keep going 💕🌻✨
