Kishawna Peck is the founder and Executive Director of the Womxn in Data Science Conference, an event that provides a platform to women from diverse backgrounds to showcase their career journeys and knowledge. The conference itself is a two-day event where you get a chance to hear from women in academia, industry, government, and start-ups about how they apply data science to their work and the second day is a workshop. And today, Kishawna tells us the remarkable history of this staple Toronto conference. www.womxndsto.com Time stamps: 1:05 - Why did Kishawna create this conference? 2:45 - The relationship between Kishawna and the Stanford Women in Data Science Conference and how she went about organizing the Toronto rendition. 8:22 - How Kishawna reacted when she realized she, her family, volunteers were the only black faces at her first conference. 10:18 - How Kishawna was able to create a diverse pipeline of future speakers/facilitators in data science. 12:27 - Kishawna's original career had nothing to do with Data Science, so I ask her what brought her into the fold. 13:46 - Data ethics. 15:40 - Why she stepped away from the Stanford and how she created her own brand. 22:11 - How she went about planning the last conference, which included a trip to the hospital due to a mini-stroke. 29:09 - Kishawna's vision for the future of the conference.
