The goal of this panel is to share with a broad audience that it does not require a singular path or skill-set to arrive into this space. Additionally, everyone sitting on this panel has access and privilege that must be acknowledged, so we will also dive into what they are doing personally, with this access, to effect positive change within their sphere of influence and how others can do the same.

Panelists will engage in an honest discussion framed by the following questions:

Discuss your career journey, how did you get where you are?
Where do you think you got help in getting where you are?
What personal steps are you taking to ensure open source, and particularly Kubernetes, is a community that has opportunities for a broader audience (read: those outside of dominant culture)?
What’s one key piece of information you want the audience to take away from this talk?
