It's 2024, and I'm still being invited to speak on all men panels. AKA Manels. If I'm invited to speak on an all men panel, or present on stage with all men presenters, the answer is no. If I say "Yes I'll join!" but you only have 1 woman on the panel, and she has to drop out last minute, then I drop out last minute too. If you say "We looked, but we couldn't find any women!" then I will look for you, and find a woman. If there aren't enough spaces to add her, then she can take my spot. #Allyship
