Reshma began her career as an attorney and activist. In 2010, she surged onto the political scene as the first Indian American woman to run for U.S. Congress. During the race, Reshma visited local schools and saw the gender gap in computing classes firsthand, which led her to start Girls Who Code. Reshma is also the author of Brave, Not Perfect–a movement rooted in her experience, TedTalk, book, and podcast encourging women to live their bravest, fullest lives.
“Girls Who Code is more than an international non-profit. We are a movement. ”
Reshma Saujani, Founder of Girls Who Code
Dr. Tarika Barrett began her career as a community organizer and educator. She spent her career in education working for students who are left behind or systemically barred from access to opportunities. She joined Girls Who Code in 2016 leading the expansion of our Summer Immersion Programs, Clubs Programs and our International expansion.
