Hello TIghtknit Community. Thrilled to be joining. 💜 I'm the founder of Retail Women in Tech. Retail Women in Tech is a global community, the only one of its kind, dedicated to empowering women and allies passionate about retail and technology. Our mission is to create the conditions for women to gain greater representation across every aspect of our industry. We cultivate meaningful connections between people of different backgrounds to inspire, support and learn from one another as we navigate through this thing called our careers (and life). Why do this? Because no one else is. I've been in the retail industry since college. I've been in the business, consulting and tech. This community has been a labor of love and has been so overwhelmingly warmly received. We are planning to become a non-profit. I've decided to put my heart into it. Please share with anyone you think may be interested in learning more! https://retailwomenintech.org/

    Hey Shannon F. - welcome in! Love what you’ve built. We’re always working on the right words and copy to use for our community and I love that line you have “empowering women AND ALLIES”. We’re in the midst of further opening pieces of our Women in Tech SEO spaces up to people of all genders ( more on that intimidating vision we have here if you’re curious!) and definitely taking some inspiration from your site on how you talk about advocates and allies. 💜 Also love the welcome session to help folks understand what’s behind the sign up form! Do you get a lot of folks coming to that before filling the form?

    Hi Shannon, welcome! I work in beauty (as a brand strategist and copy director) and am not closely tied to the tech industry, but definitely have some reach into retail. It'll be great to get to know you here!
