OK OK I'll go first! Did you know that the Atlassian Community Team consists of 9, FABULOUS women? I feel grateful that every morning when I sign on for the day, I know I'll be working alongside the smart, creative, and caring people that I call my coworkers and friends.

While we are all women, the diversity in thoughts, interests, and backgrounds from the Atlassian Community Team is astounding. We're mothers, artists, adventurers, animal lovers, writers, gamers, bakers, influencers, coaches... the list goes on and on. 

Not to say that we will always be an all-women team, but we are certainly enjoying the #girlpower for now! 

So, thank you to my team and to all the other women out there who make the world go round!! I'm really feeling my desk's vibe today :)

I know I saw more than one cat on your team too... er, deer in the headlights :)

Happy International Women's Day, @Bridget !

Awesome - love your setup @Bridget and of course your adorably kitty! Thanks for sharing the beautiful themed wallpaper, I now have my desk all suited up for IWD! I am currently working with two extraordinary women, we call ourselves TS Team Dynamite as we are leading the Talent Strategy at my organization, and did 8 weeks of training deliveries this fall across Canada. We work so well together and clicked with all the time we spent together in-person and virtually. Grateful to have so many inspiring womxn in my life, big shout out to my fabulous Momma (her name is Ann), my biggest supporter, encourager ,cheerleader and role model ♡

Hi @Bridget!! You're one of my inspirations - the way you live your life so freely devoted to all your interests! And being a great cat mom and teammate ❤️

Here's a photo of my home desk space. I thought about cleaning off my snack wrappers and used dishes, but realistically, it stays like this until the end of my work day so I included it for posterity :)
