EP02 — Sharon's Short: The Room

A few weeks ago, I walked myself into an Applied AI event in Minneapolis.

Twenty-seven men. Three women. A keynote speaker who came in with a why — and a room full of people determined to pull him into the how.

This is what I saw. And what almost didn't happen.

EP02 is a story about a woman who almost didn't come back. A graduate student who didn't wait for anyone. And one front-row decision that changed everything.

If you've ever walked into a room and felt like a visitor in your own field — this one's for you.

Women in AI. Showing up. Werk It Girls.

 

Continuation: EP04 — The bigger story. Why that room looked the way it did. What the data says about women and AI. And what it's going to cost us if we keep waiting to be invited.
