How do we try to fit into an organization if we come from a diverse background – and still stand out to get noticed? Today's guest on MAS Impact is Myrna Soto, in conversation with our effervescent host, Monica Hernandez.

Both are Latina women who are thriving in tech, and both share a passion for community impact and creating more diversity in technology and business.

As such, they are good friends and wisdom flows freely between these two as they discuss the importance of staying authentic to where you came from while being ripe to any opportunity that comes your way.

With over 28 years of experience in technology – in multiple disciplines from cyber security leadership to software development and transformation – Myrna is highly qualified to address the issue of diversity in tech.

She is also able to take the conversation a few steps further by addressing AI concerns around ensuring that generative AI doesn't alienate diverse ethnicities and remains applicable to everyone.

Our differences become our superpower, as Myrna astutely points out. And like a software program that launches with a few bugs, we are not perfect as human beings.

We need to continue to learn from our mistakes, iterate, and become a higher level of functioning efficiency in order to create MAS impact!

"I really think that that is such a core need that we have as a diverse population, is to not sink back into the wall. To make sure that we are seen, that we are part of this society, that our successes are known, and that we continue to contribute. It's the only way that we're going to move the ball forward." ~ Myrna Soto

In This Episode:

- How Myrna's life choices (and parents) have shaped her career trajectory

- Understanding how we can use AI as an automated ability to transact and create inclusivity

- How has Myrna's diverse background impacted the organizations she has worked for?

- Appreciating the importance of diversity of thought

- The paradox of knowing that we all belong, but we also all have to stand out

- Myrna shares stories of success and failure (and how she's continued to grow)

- What advice does Myrna have for entrepreneurs looking to encourage diversity?

- 'Push up or pull up' – raising awareness and creating opportunity for your community (one way or the other)
