Episode 1: Eva Reid on Community, Communication, Working in Government, and "Just Asking"
“I'm really interested in how we build community in technology. And I think part of it is because -- as a woman in technology we're not necessarily, or we haven't been historically, as visible in the community. And so one of my thought processes is around, how do we build a community of women in technology that not only helps support us as women but helps us to be a larger part of the tech community, women and otherwise.”

Community, inclusion and intersectionality: How we can collaborate for organizational change
“Does everyone have a voice? Does each and every person feel like they have a part to play in the organization? Are employees encouraged to offer something to develop the community? Does the community provide something back to the employees? If the answer is no, or the employees don’t know the answer, we’ve missed out on the most important part of building our organizations — building an inclusive organizational community.”

How to build a career around what you love to do
Now that I do this work, I get asked frequently, “How can I create a career that I enjoy?” My answer is always the same to start: “What do you LOVE?” I mean really love and feel like if you could “do” that thing, you would look forward to getting out of bed every morning — not just “what you could be doing that would be better than right now,” but what would really light you up? If you can answer that question, you’re most of the way to building the career that you love.
