It was about like, again, making coding cool.
And so it's never about, and Harvard Business School did a case study on this.
It wasn't about how many girls you taught.
It was about how fast we were able to move by showing girls that like, you want to change the world.
You want to solve COVID, climate, or cancer.
The way you do that is by being a programmer, by being an engineer.
Like you are in charge of your own destiny.
It's also why, like, again, going back to this conversation about DE&I, it's so, like, you are not going to have the next generation of emigrates because until your stories are constantly told, you're not going to have freshman Sajanis out there being social entrepreneurs.
It is important for what you put into the culture, what you see on television, what you see in magazines, what you hear on the radio, what you listen to on your podcast.
Like, culture matters.
And we have got to actually show that like there's another way.
Yeah, I mean, what it taught me is like failure is such a gift.
You know, I built Girls Who Code.
I was not a coder.
I had majored in commuter science.
I had just colossally lost a congressional run.
I was the first Indian American woman to run for Congress.
I got my ass whooped.
Wasn't even close.
But it freed me into thinking like, oh, you know, failure doesn't break me.
