Queer
Fast Company’s 2021 Queer 50 got me thinking about what we are celebrating in Pride Month. This is the second annual ranking of top LGBTQ women and nonbinary innovators in business and tech. The Q50 list was created in collaboration with Lesbians Who Tech & Allies and features leaders like Alicia Garza, founder of Black Futures Lab, Sally Susman, Chief Corporate Affairs Officer at Pfizer, and Jen Wong, COO of Reddit. In my view, gender identity and sexual preference shouldn’t matter – but it still does, because of discrimination. So, let’s celebrate leaders who overcome prejudice to achieve great things.
