“The collective power of our stories shows us—and our wider communities—that we’re far from alone.” @bentpieceofwire 👏👏

A new report from @codeorg shows some encouraging trends, but it also shows we've got work to do to expand pathways into computer science for girls and students of color. m-gat.es/2Ndie24

I will always be grateful to my teacher, Susan Bauer, for helping spark my interest in computer science.
Far too many students don't have someone like Mrs. Bauer to help them see themselves in tech. pic.twitter.com/3t0TgdrpSL

Research shows that when women run for office, people are more likely to question their qualifications, looks & even underestimate their performance. This election season, let’s evaluate candidates on what matters: their ideas & experience. #GetOutTheBias m-gat.es/31g6ajT

"While a mentor is someone who has knowledge and will share it with you, a sponsor is a person who has power and will use it for you." Great piece from @HarvardBiz on the importance of sponsors at work. #EqualityCantWait m-gat.es/2A8XEYc

We can’t let the world miss out on entire generations of women contributing meaningfully to computer science and the innovations they would have created. Let's fix this. #EqualityCantWait m-gat.es/2A6p0ON

Study hard, get ahead? Unfortunately, that doesn't hold true for everyone. Male college graduates still enter into higher-paying occupations than women—even when their majors are the same.

What a wonderful conversation with @alanalda. We covered a lot of ground—including how a memorable trip to Tanzania helped open my eyes to the consequences of unpaid work. m-gat.es/2Prwsy7

I wrote about our friend Warren Buffett in The #MomentofLift because he's been the lift for so many—including Bill and me.
Warren, you are the mentor of a lifetime. I can never thank you enough. Happy birthday! pic.twitter.com/1IQaRmy27z

I’m so glad you will get a chance to see inside @BillGates' brain (it’s what made me fall in love with him!) and see how he thinks about tackling some of the world’s toughest problems. Watch on @Netflix, beginning September 20. #InsideBillsBrain pic.twitter.com/kGW2XIQWOu
