##Gear Up Gist Reflection:

  1. What are you left thinking about from today's session?
  • It really makes me internalize how much I benefit from white privelege, but how little I know about the other perspective.
  1. How do you think the concepts covered in Gear Up today will impact you as a software developer? 3-5 sentences.
  • I think that having these conversations now will help prepare us to have these deeper conversations with future teams. To create a more diverse and ally oriented outlook when tackling ideas that will have a big impact on the community. I hope to be able to participate in some instance of outreach to help diversify the tech workforce and get the word out there that there are resources like Turing to get an accessible jump-start at a career in tech.
  1. Any additional thoughts on the session today?
  • I feel like we talked a lot about race gender, but some topics that I would like to hear more about is the LGBQT and those with Anxiety and Depression.
  1. What does a more hopeful future look like for you?
  • The future that I look forward to is one where we can shed the idea of Race as a color, and to focus more heavily as being the HUMAN race. Where we can all work together and share ideas in a constructive and healthy fashion.
