Hello,

Hope you’re doing well. I’m an OWASP member and would like to take this opportunity to lead and contribute ideas towards strengthening Diversity and Inclusion and give visibility to underrepresented groups. I’m on the LGBTQ+ and neurodiversity spectrum and been trying to advocate and make more people in the tech industry aware of the importance of inclusive culture that promotes diversity. I’d love to take it to the next level with OWASP and collaborate with other committee members to reach and educate more people. Please let me know how I can be of assistance.

Best,

Ruchira Pokhriyal (She/They)
