This is why we do the work at @BRIDGEGOOD

It is because we have seen what happens when someone is finally given a platform, a room, and a community that believes in them. So many talented people go through life feeling overlooked, underestimated, or unsure if their story matters. Our work is to remind them that it does.

After wrapping our Inspire Oakland Top 20 Showcase, I kept thinking about the intention behind every designer’s work. Each piece carried a story, a person, a place, a memory, or a community that deserved to be seen and celebrated.

That is what makes this work meaningful to me. It is not just about programs, events, or opportunities. It is about impact, it is about opening doors for people who deserve to walk through them.

Creative Threads reminded us that craft, community & long term impact matter. Grateful to @warriors @valkyries @Adobe who stand with BRIDGEGOOD. We keep showing up for creatives with opportunity + economic mobility as the goal. Join us May 5. Free RSVP: https://t.co/qOYo6D3uZL 💛

We showed up to @BSidesSF and left with one message loud and clear: cybersecurity belongs to everyone.

Connected with EFF, Women in Cybersecurity, Cyber Jutsu, Day of Shecurity, and more orgs doing the real work of opening this field up.

The talent shortage is real. The resources exist. The door is open.

BRIDGEGOOD offers FREE cybersecurity training in Oakland for people who are ready to walk through it.

Drop 🔐 in replies if you want in. We’ll find you.
