The control money had on our family led me to work I’d have to do as an adult to unshackle myself from these stories.

Sue Says

JJ DiGeronimo is recognized as a thought-leader for women and girls in tech & STEM. Even with this recognition, her numerous requests to speak and after authoring two books, JJ shares she still has moments of questioning herself and her ability. We spoke about what it might take for women to be able to once and for all have a consistent belief in themselves.  Great topic!
