Welcome to our 1st Twitter chat! We’re taking a page out of the @CodeNewbie handbook (bc imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, right??) and we are so excited to talk with you all! We’re kicking off #NationalMentoringMonth talking about what we hope to gain from mentorship

if you aren't seeing us (in the workforce, in job applications, etc). maybe ask yourself why instead of blaming the women.
Join @LatinaGirlsCode on Saturday, Jan. 5th at 1pm for their 1st #tech event of the new year: Let's Create Augmented Reality Filters! 👻
