At Airbnb, we’re committed to helping create more inclusive environments for women in tech. That’s why this month, Airbnb’s Latinx Employee Resource Group in Miami was proud to host 20 young Latinas from Miami Springs Senior High School's iTech Academy for a ‘Girls In Tech Day’ to help increase the number of women of color in tech. Thank you Miami-Dade County School Board Member Susan V. Castillo for partnering with us on this important issue.

Belinda Johnson liked thisBelinda Johnson liked thisRecently, I was privileged to received the National Bar Association's Junius Williams Humanitarian Award. I am grateful to have received awards throughout my life, but this one feels different. I actually shed a tear. Being called a Humanitarian, someone who "promotes the good fortune, health, happiness, prosperity" of others in the world is not something I take lightly. I knew very early in life that God's purpose for my life was to be a servant. Whether that was being a waiter at Pappadeaux's Kitchen, a singer in Young Life choir, or giving back to communities I grew up in. I really don't have any fancy post...this is stream of consciousness. I am just so grateful and humbled, and feel even more committed to continuing to serve. Thank you to the National Bar Young Lawyer's Division for honoring me with such a beautiful award. Because I am a hip hop fan...in the words of Drake "What's the move? Can I tell the truth? If I was doing this for you then I'd have nothing left to prove. This for me though, I'm just tryna stay alive and take care of my people. And they don't have no award for that, trophies, trophies, And they don't have no award for that,it don't come with trophies, ain't no envelopes to open, I just do it cause I'm supposed to." https://lnkd.in/e3mGZsQ

Belinda Johnson liked thisBelinda Johnson liked thisThis week, I had the pleasure of visiting our PayPal NYC office. It was great to connect with the team and sit down for a fireside chat with Franz Paasche to share my personal and professional journey and my view on our path forward as a company – as well as help celebrate our inclusion in this year’s JUST Capital and Forbes Just 100 list. I also had the pleasure of joining a panel hosted by the The Financial Times, at their annual Outstanding Directors Exchange event. It was a great conversation about global perspectives and emerging trends in corporate governance, and I was thrilled to share my experience from my work at PayPal and as a sitting board member of Hitachi. I'm leaving inspired and energized by both the people and conversations!
