  • Yes to One Thing, No to Ten

    In April, when I spoke at the Women in Tech Summit, the panel moderator asked us all what we’d do if we weren’t afraid. The first thing that came to my mind was that I’d say no more. At the time, it seemed like such a novel and revolutionary and original idea. I said something…

  • A Girl’s Best Friend is Her Chrome Extensions
