Our third speaker this evening is @lunaraven13, who tells us about the importance and impact of mentoring marginalized folks. When mentoring, it’s important to create a space of trust, to release your own idea of success, and to be an active advocate and accomplice.

Our second talk is from @thelucywyman, who talks to us about what *not* to automate. Here, she suggests four ethical considerations when deciding whether to automate.
