 My name is Enomo Krofor. I'm actually originally from Nigeria and We're here because I was speaking on a panel on the South by Southwest panel on Why women in tech really matter and that's something I'm really passionate about I'm really passionate about engaging more girls in in technology because I grew up in a culture where Women were not really encouraged to get an education much less Get engaged in technology and because I was I'm a woman in tech I was I felt the loneliness of being one of the few women in the room full of women Technologists and I've seen the amazing power that technology has to change the world and really to empower women So that's why I'm really passionate about it I am really looking forward to a time when everybody will get on board men women will start to understand Empowering women in technology is not the just the right thing to do. It is It's a great thing for all of us and it's great for our universe I'm really excited to be involved with equals because I'm looking forward to a time when men and women will have an Equal seat at the table and our voices will both be heard I think that women bring a lot of beauty and a lot of innovation into technology and that we could solve a Mirad of problems facing our generation and our world today if we involve more women in technology My vision is really that we will get to the point where a little girl in a small village in Africa is creating the next Facebook or solving some of the critical problems that face our humanity today And I'm just excited. I'm excited to be here I'm excited to be a woman in technology and I'm excited to be an African woman in technology
