"It's not enough to see who's at the table. We have to see who's missing." I heard this at the MA Conference for Women several years ago and it's stuck. I'd like to add this: "Let's move over and add a seat for you. I see you. You belong here." #datawit #celebratingwomen #womensmonth

It’s International Women’s Month, and @data-wit.bsky.social is sharing a daily quote from a woman that other women have found inspiring.My contribution is a quote is from @cindygross.bsky.social ‘She realized she didn’t need to solve the problem to be safe; she just needed to stop carrying it.’

Raleigh Day of Data is coming your way on May 23, and is now welcoming session submissions. If you have an idea for a session you’d like to share with the community, we’d be glad to review your session. We appreciate your contributions as we shape this year’s event. sessionize.com/ral-dod-2026/

Starting off International Women's Month with a quote from @dbakevlar.bsky.social because she reminds me I don't have to be perfect, and that is hard to remember. I didn’t realize that what people see, even though I talk about the stupid things I’ve done and talk about the challenges that I’ve had,

So I may be having a bit too much fun prepping my new presentation for @sqlbits.bsky.social , "The Hero’s Journey: Mastering Your New DBA Role." Every slide might be a comic-book page at this point. If you haven't registered for this event, you could come, not to see me, but to see everyone.

I wrote a new post about how volunteering shaped my entire 2025. From data community work to mental health advocacy, foster care support, and 22 years as a Guardian ad Litem—service is simply how I live. As 2026 begins, I hope you’ll choose one small, sustainable way to serve. Small acts add up.
