In this monologue, the speaker discusses her work mentoring young girls through programs like Pathfinders, teaching them bot‑building and programming concepts, and expressing excitement at seeing them master skills that once took her years to learn. She reflects on her 2013 experience at Amazon Alexa, where she was the sole woman, Latina, and mother on her team, and recounts how she pushed to create a mindfulness voice skill despite colleagues dismissing the idea as unnecessary, preferring conventional workout or recipe apps. The narrative highlights themes of mentorship, breaking representation barriers, and advocating for innovative, non‑traditional tech solutions.
