Building Women in Data Communities: A Journey of Empowerment

on YouTube ↗39m

" summary

Community organizers describe concrete outcomes: a 10-session reading group that keeps meeting, a new member-run community called Women who do data with active members, mentorship pairings via the WIDS data angels program, monthly AI Camp events and workshops run inside JP Morgan, and recurring challenges like the DataOn competition (Jan–Mar) on problems such as early breast‑cancer detection. Practical tools include Meetup, Discord, Luma, targeted marketing and volunteer committees, and these efforts repeatedly produce networking, job referrals, and visible skill-building.
