Like free rides?! Come by the @checkr booth at Grace Hopper - 563. We'll be raffling off 4 $25 Uber gift cards today. Spin our wheel of fortune for a chance at some Apple AirPods #ghc19 #checkr #gracehopper #WomenWhoCode

@misosoup Maybe check out @joinreflect, I used them for awhile and their pricing is way more affordable, and you can meet with different therapists. No promises you'll find "the one" but at least you won't break the bank to find out!

@ndrewlee @nytimes @danjonesnyt Loved reading this, it echoed a lot of things we talked about with my move to Denver and living in an area with few Asians. Thanks for sharing such a personal and beautifully written story! ❤️
