Code First Girls Podcast
Code First Girls is on a mission to close the gender gap in the tech industry by providing employment through free education. We’ve already helped more than 200,000 women learn to code and by working with companies globally, we’re boosting employability, diversity and social mobility, transforming local economies and communities. Our #REPRESENT podcast was launched to give our community role models of women and non-binary people who are killing it in the world of tech. We want our community to hear from women like themselves represented in top positions, inspiring them to push their careers and aspire to leadership positions once they've got their foot in the door.

Ep 4 - The Meaning of Inclusion w/ Lauren Von Stackelberg, Expedia Group
With good reason, inclusion and diversity have been on top of mind for many of us through 2020. Anna sits down with Lauren von Stackelberg, Global Head of Inclusion and Diversity at Expedia Group for an incisive conversation on the definition of D&I, ways that companies can be held to account for their public pledges, and how to interrogate hiring managers before deciding to take a job.
Lauren's book recommendations are:
- Invisible Women: Exposing Data Bias in a World Designed for Men by Caroline Criado-Perez
- So You Want to Talk About Race and Mediocre by Ijeoma Oluo
- You're Not Listening: What You're Missing & Why it Matters by Kate Murphy
We can confirm that since recording, Lauren has crushed her reading goal for 2020.
