It\u2019s really cool to be able to give back to something bigger than just my team or me, and when the opportunity to be a part of and help 1k + women get situated with WordPress, we just couldn\u2019t say no.<\/p>\n<p>People use WordPress to build an online business, to share their thoughts and secrets, to document their journeys and to be in community with hundreds and thousands of other people searching for the same thing, a place for their voice to be heard. But if you lack the knowledge of how to operate through that technology, it can be a barrier between you and your online presence.<\/p>\n<p>Being a 21-year old woman who grew up in the midst of technology, every project, thought, desire, or idea was transcribed into digital and I found myself a playground where I was boss. Unfortunately not all women are told they can thrive in technology. Women have been getting a bad rep, whether it\u2019s because we just \u201cdon\u2019t understand\u201d or because there\u2019s a lack of push for women to get into tech jobs, it\u2019s missing and it\u2019s about time we start to curate experiences where we can bring it back.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright  wp-image-1651\" title=\"1k-in-1day 2\" src=\"https:\/\/wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/1k-in-1day-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"286\" height=\"286\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The 1K IN 1 DAY event will be on September 9th and hosted by Start Up Training School is going to be one of those awesome opportunities for Women to get jumpstarted with resources, support and a catalyst to turn their dreams and desires into a digital megaphone.
