   Abstract:
   It is often assumed that women in CS fully understand and appreciate diversity, equity, and inclusion and advocate for the needs of all women. However, there exist highly publicized examples in computing and beyond where the intersection of race and gender (and the experiences of Black, Latina, and Indigenous women) were ignored by White women. This panel convenes diverse women in CS to discuss the importance and challenges of same-gender allyship, advocacy, and activism.
