The Millennial Entrepreneur #20: Diversity Guru, TEDx Speaker & Tech Superwoman, While Fighting Personal Challenges – Sonya Barlow
In this episode, I spoke to Sonya Barlow, founder of LMF Network (https://www.lmfnetwork.com/), an initiative to empower and promote diversity in tech. She has been named one of the most influential women in tech by ComputerWeekly.com and we discuss her life right now as a freelance speaker and tech consultant, hosting workshops and talks for the likes of PwC, Vodafone, Royal Mail, just to name a few.
We discuss how she has become the go-to woman for diversity in tech and building this platform and job for herself in the space of 18 months alone!
And of course, I think more valuable than anything, Sonya and I had an extremely honest and open discussion about the difficulties she has faced and is currently facing in terms of workload, relationships with social media, the longevity of this platform she has built for herself and much much more! Trust me, you want to listen to this because it was truly humbling and inspiring.
And we finish off with how she delivered two TED Talks, making her the first ever South Asian woman to have delivered two TED Talks in a single year.
