There’s a growing feeling and need to see more of us to make it, to be represented, and to be empowered. This feeling is echoed from Kathmandu Valley to Silicon Valley.
In Kathmandu, I’ve attended many business conferences and events. Far too many events lack diversity. There’s a lack of diversity on the panels and speakers at the events. As an audience member, I would love to see more women, more new faces, more people from various backgrounds to be represented on stage. By having more diversity on the conferences and events, it would attract more people to attend these events and/or make them feel proud that “someone” like them is represented on the stage. It’s also the right thing to do. More to come…
