By Jess Erickson, Founder of Berlin Geekettes

My goal is very simple: to make a difference in my community by encouraging women to think big and take a slice out of the tech industry that they deserve.

Why?

Technology is at the forefront of pushing innovation in many different sectors…

Landed in Berlin this morning, super jet lagged and tired from zero sleep. With much effort, I opened up my inbox and noticed over 200 unread emails that I need to get through today. I should be crying right now but I’m not.

Why you ask? Because Shermin Voshmgir called me up and we had a brilliant conversation that I found not only refreshing but helped me refocus and get back into the groove.

She talked about unique opportunities and asked if I wanted to be a part of them. Super cool.

We talked about our past experiences, the mistakes we made and what we learned from.

We also talked about the future and what it holds for the women of tech in Berlin. Again, this community means so much to me. cc: Berlin Geekettes.

Maybe it’s Sheryl Sandberg’s new book that is forging a little movement in my head but today I’m feeling inspired. I’m feeling a sense of collective spirit. Despite the hardships I’ve faced in the last few years, I’ve overcome them because of the women in my life. I hope we can all be there for each other and take the time to do a call in the middle of the day, whether jet lagged or not. It’s about being there and feeling like you’re never alone. ♥
