I spoke with an Engineer today and the convo nearly broke my heart. He's new to Canada. For the last 8 months he's been working two jobs as a Barista to make ends meet. He's Strong in JS, jQuery, PHP w/ exposure to React and Node.js. Twitter - Can we help him? (#RT for exposure)
โStop thinking that a pregnant person is now somehow disabled. A lot of companies think that youโre going to be pregnant and youโre not going to be productive. Because of course, how can we women think of two things at once? ;)โโจ-Maria Peredaโจ

So incredibly proud of this lady @MC_bosslady from @KiraSystems for moderating an amazing panel of speakers last night who came out to share their stories and insights on parental leave. Many thanks to all panelists and @sidexsideco for a great evening. ๐๐ป
@MC_bosslady is the best panel facilitator.
Sheโs funny, informative, vulnerable all while giving you actionable bits of advice + support.
This has been my first @sidexsideco event and Iโve had such a great experience.
On advice for parental leave:
โIf youโre thinking of having kids, open an account and put some money in it every month. When your top-off runs out it can be super helpful.โ
