    Dear Junior Developer Me
    By Beatrice Lopez Software developer @ Osedea and avid flat white coffee drinker

    How I struggled with (and conquered) social identity threat as a woman who would often find herself being the only one in a 10+ employees' team
    By Carine Mizero Kizito IT consultant

    Ever heard about social identity threat among women in STEM? No? You’re not alone! By sharing the story about how in my early career I went on to strip down what I considered “too feminine” and reject my artistic side, I hope to raise awareness and help other women in male-dominated fields.
