Quotes
“[The Ohana] means so much to me as someone who didn't grow up in tech or have a four-year college degree, or wasn’t looked at as someone that traditionally can provide value. The Salesforce community has made sure that is not the narrative they give to individuals who come from a background that’s not traditionally tech-focused, or who identifies as someone who has historically been excluded from these opportunities. They're welcoming you with open arms. They're saying that you can do it, and they're saying that we are here to help you along this journey.”
