Lifting our voices, raising the bar

“Being a woman in tech means breaking barriers and making sure different perspectives are considered when building solutions. I’m inspired by women leaders who are driving change, amplifying our voices, and showingus how to empower other women.”

“The first step for building inclusion is recognizing diversity on our own teams. Being part of AWS affinity groups has helped me better understand the culture and perspectives of my colleagues.”

“What’s most gratifying about mentorship is seeing people grow into their authentic selves, daring to take steps despite feeling fear. For me, to be there in their ups and downs and share our common vulnerabilities in true sisterhood is a gift.”

“Showing up every day is exciting to me because I feel seen, heard, and valued while bringing my whole self to work. I feel comfortable sharing my personal accomplishments and talking about my family with my team.”

“When 40 high school students visited us recently, they noted the diversity and open culture of the AWS team. This is why we strive to be more inclusive. We want the next generation to see that their future career is more than they might imagine.”

“I believe in the power of “we”. Knowing I have strong allies who understand my situation and challenges, who will use their network to advocate for me, definitely makes me feel valued and included. My team and the leaders I work with are great allies.”
