Working with others together and helping them uncover their gifts and purpose motivates me. Learning new things, coming up with solutions, and demonstrating to women of color and underserved communities how to understand and embrace technology and the many ways it can be used as a tool to serve their needs drives me.

- MALINDA WILLIAMS, FOUNDER

ASF is creating environments conducive to women working together and encouraging them to connect and support one another.

These are environments where we insist on “women’s empowerment” being a verb, an action, and not just a catchphrase or trending hashtag. Inspiration, education, and encouragement is our passion. Urging us to work together and dismantling self-doubt while changing belief systems around collaboration, not competition is our passion.
