With the U.N. in town, we’ve been very busy here at Code to Inspire this week!

We kicked it off with a panel at the Blouin Creative Leadership Summit where Fereshteh spoke on a panel with the one and only Nicholas Kristoff.

Fereshteh and Nicholas

It was such a thrill to meet him in the flesh and discuss the corresponding and upward trend of women’s empowerment and economic development.

If that wasn’t enough to inspire us, Google featured our partner, Made with Code, on their homepage and included us on their blog today. More than that, Google’s Made with Code will promote our work at the roaringly popular Global Citizens Festival. They put together a short film which will debut this weekend at the Festival.

Watch Fereshteh shine in this video with other women leaders in tech!

We’re so exhilarated from all this momentum that we’re pushing our new GoFundMe campaign to raise $5,000. Donate today!
