From the only one –
to part of the sisterhood
We know what it’s like to be the only one like you at work
The only woman…
The only Muslim…
The only person from an ethnic minority…
The only parent…
The only person wearing a hijab…
The only person not going for after work drinks…
And on and on.
All those layers build up into what can be a very isolating experience. We know what it feels like, because we’ve felt it too.
Tech Sisters is a place where you can connect with others women going through the same struggles and working towards the same goals.
It’s where you can find inspiration and guidance from women who have built incredible careers without sacrificing their identity or deen.
It’s where you feel seen and have the support you need to reach your goals and thrive in your career
Full Circle Community
Tech Sisters began in 2019 when our founder, Grace Witter, attended a major tech conference and realised she was the only Muslim woman there. This definitely isn’t an usual experience! Although we know other Muslim women exist, and thrive, in tech, we simply aren’t finding each other
What began as a blog has evolved into a global community where members come “full circle”. We see sisters join as fresh bootcamp graduates or career changers, progress through our mentorship and job clinics, and eventually return as mentors, volunteers, and leaders of the community.
Community Values
We measure our success not just by growth, but by how closely we live up to our five core values:
🕋
Deen
Islam is the driving force and focus for our members. As a community, we show that we can excel in this field without sacrificing that essential part of our identity.
💖
SISTERHOOD
The women in Tech Sisters are we are a true sisterhood where members feel like they have hundreds of big sisters to turn to for advice and support.
✨
Transparency

🤝
Collaboration

💖
