We have an incredible line-up of speakers joining us for Girls Write Now’s QWERTY Digital Exhibition at the Sony Wonder Technology Lab May 2! Our mentees, mentors, and attendees are sure to be inspired by the words of wisdom from Nisha Dua, Heben Nigatu, and Ashley Ford. Get to know a little more about these accomplished women below.
Ashley Ford
Heben Nigatu
Heben Nigatu is a senior editor at BuzzFeed where she writes about race, gender, pop culture and random vines she likes. She is the co-host of BuzzFeed’s podcast Another Round and can be found live-tweeting her shows at @heavenrants. The only thing she loves more than her shows are mangoes.
Nisha Dua
Nisha Dua is the General Manager at Cambio, an entertainment site for girls based in New York City (where our mentees will soon be contributors!) She was the principal of BBG Ventures, which was built out of AOL’s #BUILTBYGIRLS initiative. Nisha has extensive experience with young women’s empowerment in technology. Follow her at @nish67!
